there are many theoretical questions regarding wisdom and propriety. but regarding legality there are only a few questions: 1. is georgia a nation recognized by the united nations as an independent country. 2. are the borders of georgia accepted borders by the united nations.
when russia kills chechens inside its own borders it raises many moral questions. but its inside russia`s borders, so there is no right to invade russia to protect the chechens. hezbollah crossed a border certified by the united nations to attack israeli soldiers. this is essentially different and to label all acts as provocations is to leave legality behind and to enter the world of rhetoric, where mister levy is comfortable, rather than a world of legality where mister levy is comfortable only when it suits his politics. |
