That's definitely one way of looking at it. However, the people that agree with me have the bigger guns and all the money. When it comes to deciding "International Law" (which has been a joke thus far in my opinion), I think those two things can be very important determining factors. Might doesn't always make right, in this case, those with the might just happen to also be right.
