I simply don’t accept that we get to decide unilaterally that we have the right to fight this particular cancer abroad in direct violation of international law just because we can.

I do t disagree. I also can’t think of the last president who didn’t do as bad or worse. Maybe it was Jimmy. It certainly hasn’t been anyone since.
