International law is actually totally irrelevant where they conflict with the interests of powers with dominating influence upon event.  International law is only of any interest at all when it directly supports the interests of at least some of the major, internationally influential, powers.   The coherence of Iraq is vital to the immediate interests of all major powers with dominating influence, Saudi Arabia, gulf sheikhdoms, turkey, Israel, and the U.S.    In this situation the rights under international law of those who would benefit from breaking up Iraq is totally irrelevant.

Right, I mean the dumb fuck sticking his head out of the top hatch, which is designed for a crew weapon and gunner, will make for a nice target if a group of half way competent soldiers ever engage these douche bags.
