not signed on to an agreement that would authorize US forces to remain in Iraq after December 31. |美国总统布什一直在一个大喧嚣的事实是，伊拉克政权还没有签署了一项协议，将授权美国军队继续留在伊拉克12月31日之后。 Bush says that if an agreement is not signed between him and the Iraqi government, he will cease military operations in Iraq, keeping his military forces inside US bases within Iraq.布什说，如果协议尚未签署是他与伊拉克政府，他将停止在伊拉克的军事行动，使他的军队在美军基地在伊拉克境内。 Bush says that “the law” and “Iraqi sovereignty” would require him to do this, even though he has yet to clarify how “the law” and “Iraqi sovereignty” permit him to keep any forces in Iraq, whether inside US bases or not, if there is no agreement signed extending Bush’s occupation of the country.布什说， “法律”和“伊拉克的主权”将要求他要做到这一点，尽管他还没有弄清楚如何“法律”和“伊拉克的主权”允许他继续任何势力在伊拉克，无论是驻日美军基地内或不，如果没有签署的协议延长布什的占领该国。 In any event, apparently “the law” and the concept of “sovereignty” don’t apply to Syria and Pakistan.在任何情况下，显然是“法律”的概念与“主权”并不适用于叙利亚和巴基斯坦。 Those are two independent countries that Bush’s military forces have recently attacked, killing scores of Pakistanis and Syrians.这是两个独立的国家，布什的军队最近袭击，造成数十名巴基斯坦人和叙利亚人。 Bush says that “the law of self-defense” authorizes his military attacks against these two sovereign and independent countries.布什说， “法律自卫”授权他的军事打击这两个主权和独立的国家。 He says that people who are trying to evict Bush’s forces from Iraq are using these two countries as bases of operations.他说，人谁正试图驱逐美国军队撤出伊拉克使用的是这两个国家作为基地的行动。 There is at least one big problem, however, with Bush’s interpretation of “the law”: In Iraq Bush is the aggressor — the attacker — not the defender.至少有一个大问题，但是，布什的解释“法律” ：布什总统在伊拉克是侵略者-攻击-而不是后卫。 Iraq is the defender.伊拉克是后卫。 Therefore, as the attacker Bush is precluded from claiming self-defense when the defender attempts to defend itself.因此，作为攻击布什是排除声称自卫时，后卫试图为自己辩护。 Assume that an armed robber shoots at you.假设一个武装强盗芽你。 You have the right of self-defense.你有自卫权。 You have the right to fire back at the robber.您有权还击的强盗。 When you fire back, the law does not entitle the robber to claim “self-defense” when he fires at you again.当你还击，法律没有授权的强盗要求“自卫”时，火灾你。 Since he was the one who initiated the attack, only his victim has the right of self-defense.因为他是一个谁发起的攻击，只有他的受害者都有权自卫。 The principle is no different with respect to nations.原则是没有什么不同方面的国家。 Neither the Iraqi government nor the Iraqi people ever attacked the United States.无论是伊拉克政府也对伊拉克人民有史以来袭击美国。 Instead, Bush and his army attacked Iraq.相反，布什和他的军队进攻伊拉克。 That makes the US the attacker, the aggressor.这使得美国的攻击者，侵略者。 Iraq is the defender.伊拉克是后卫。 Was Bush’s attack legal?布什的攻击合法的吗？ Of course not.当然不是。 For one thing, wars of aggression were punished as war crimes at Nuremberg.对于一件事，侵略战争受到惩罚战争罪行在纽伦堡。 Second, Bush never secured a congressional declaration of war, which the US Constitution requires.其次，布什从来没有担保国会宣战，而美国宪法的要求。 That makes Bush’s war on Iraq illegal under our form of government.这使得布什对伊拉克发动战争的非法根据我们的政府形式。 Third, the UN Charter, to which the US is a signatory, makes attacks on other countries illegal.第三，联合国宪章，而美国是一个签字，使攻击其他国家的非法行为。 Thus, since Bush attacked Iraq, only Iraq can claim self-defense, not Bush.因此，自布什进攻伊拉克，只有伊拉克可以要求自我防卫，而不是布什。 Moreover, the principle is the same with respect to Bush’s recent attacks on Syria and Pakistan.此外，原则上是相同的关于布什最近对叙利亚的袭击和巴基斯坦。 Not only is Bush’s violation of the sovereignty of those nations as illegal as when he violated Iraqi sovereignty with his initial invasion, Bush’s self-defense justification is as faulty and fallacious as an armed robber’s claim that he was defending himself from his victim’s attempt to defend himself.这不仅是布什的侵犯主权的那些国家是非法的，当他侵犯了伊拉克主权与他最初入侵，布什的自我防卫的理由是错误和荒谬的武装匪徒的要求，他自己辩护从他的受害人的企图为自己辩护。 The fact is that the Bush regime is going to do whatever it wants to do.事实是，布什政权将尽一切想做的事。 In Bush’s mind, whatever he does is legal and moral because it’s all for “freedom” or in accordance with some plan of God.在布什的头脑，不管他是法律和道义上的，因为它所有的“自由”或根据一些计划的上帝。 Thus, all the hullabaloo about the necessity for the Iraqis to sign an agreement extending Bush’s occupation of the country is just smokescreen.因此，所有的喧嚣的必要性伊拉克人签署协议延长布什的占领该国是烟幕。 Bush obviously wants a cover for his continued occupation of the country.布什显然希望掩盖他的继续占领该国。 But if the Iraqi regime fails to sign an agreement by the December 31 deadline, that’s not going to stop Bush from employing his army any way he wants.但是，如果伊拉克政权未能签署协议的最后期限12月31日，这不会阻止布什雇用他的军队任何方式，他希望。 That’s what he’s doing with Syria and Pakistan, and that’s what he will continue doing with Iraq.这是他所从事的与叙利亚和巴基斯坦，这就是他将继续与伊拉克这样做。 And it will all be legal, agreement or no agreement, because in Bush’s mind whatever the US government does is automatically legal.它将所有的法律，协议或任何协议，因为在布什的头脑无论美国政府并不自动的法律。 Jacob Hornberger is founder and president
