critical of the putin government. but let me ask you this. the line in the op-ed, the law is the law, we can t ignore it. that is a true statement, isn t it? i love that line. what he was obviously talking about is the law that says that the united nations can t do anything important without the agreement of the five permanent members, including russia. he s upholding his veto. what he s ignoring is the law against indiscriminately targeting civilians in syria. the law against torturing prisoners in syria. the law that says you don t bomb bread lines, you don t bomb clinics. you don t send incendiary weapons in schools. that s the law too. that s international law. same international law that says that you can t that the u.n. security council can t act without russia s approval. isn t this precisely the paradox? when he is talking in that op-ed about what international law is, he is basically rebuking the u.s. for threatening to use force outside of the two situations that ar
