You are right, the Kosovo attack was not sanctioned by the UN, but it DID fall in the Humanitarian Intervention , as described in the International Commission on Intervention and State Sovereignty document i already talked to you about... So its a non-issue, but since the Intervention Statute has not been approved by the UN in their charter, legally speaking we did not respect international law, and the Security Council should have been convened and a resolution condemning our acts should have been put forward (even though it would have been vetoed by the US, France and the UK)...

So my point of view is consistent across all cases. The rule of law must be prevail.
