So you're saying that the antiboycott laws only apply in the case of contracts, with persons outside the US? You're saying, for example, that Americans are free to boycott Israel at their own initiative or endorse the legality of boycotting Israel? In effect, you're supporting the option of boycotting Israel? Or any countries, nationalities, religions, etc? And you're a US citizen? Answer in statement form please.

No, your argument boils down to insistence on election of national representatives or
no democratic participation allowed. It's a pretext to stifling democracy in other arenas. That's throwing the baby out with the bathwater.

You're replying to, "IMO the UDHR was about as fresh a document as was possible at the time", apparently.

You were talking about personally seeing mass graves in Southern Iraq. IIRC Iran-Iraq (originally called the Persian Gulf War) was fought along the entire border and into the Gulf, mainly on Iraqi soil. The WWI character of Iran-Iraq (the Iranians deployed human wave attacks including unarmed women and children, both sides used gas, mines, trenches) ensured mass graves. What is
now called the first Gulf War (Iraq-Kuwait war, or, Desert Storm/Desert Sabre, lest there be confusion) was waged initially from the air, from Turkey to Saudi Arabia, then on land, well north into Iraq. The US forces buried Iraqi soldiers in mass graves, and Iraqi "collateral damage" from the intense bombing could very well have been buried with the same expediency we just witnessed in Fallujah: bodies piled in trenches. I don't know just where in Iraq you've been, or when.
Anyway, your point seems to be that I'm ignorant, somehow.

No, and I won't deny Dresden, Hiroshima, or Halabja either.

My wife never flipped the Byrd Amendment in my face. Nor have marriage counselors judged her actions "illegal".

preparing to do , with your self professed LOL on the matter.
