not signed on to an agreement that would authorize US forces to remain in Iraq after December 31. |美國總統布什一直在一個大喧囂的事實是，伊拉克政權還沒有簽署了一項協議，將授權美國軍隊繼續留在伊拉克12月31日之後。 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.布什說，如果協議尚未簽署是他與伊拉克政府，他將停止在伊拉克的軍事行動，使他的軍隊在美軍基地在伊拉克境內。 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.布什說， “法律”和“伊拉克的主權”將要求他要做到這一點，儘管他還沒有弄清楚如何“法律”和“伊拉克的主權”允許他繼續任何勢力在伊拉克，無論是駐日美軍基地內或不，如果沒有簽署的協議延長布什的佔領該國。 In any event, apparently “the law” and the concept of “sovereignty” don’t apply to Syria and Pakistan.在任何情況下，顯然是“法律”的概念與“主權”並不適用於敘利亞和巴基斯坦。 Those are two independent countries that Bush’s military forces have recently attacked, killing scores of Pakistanis and Syrians.這是兩個獨立的國家，布什的軍隊最近襲擊，造成數十名巴基斯坦人和敘利亞人。 Bush says that “the law of self-defense” authorizes his military attacks against these two sovereign and independent countries.布什說， “法律自衛”授權他的軍事打擊這兩個主權和獨立的國家。 He says that people who are trying to evict Bush’s forces from Iraq are using these two countries as bases of operations.他說，人誰正試圖驅逐美國軍隊撤出伊拉克使用的是這兩個國家作為基地的行動。 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.至少有一個大問題，但是，布什的解釋“法律” ：布什總統在伊拉克是侵略者-攻擊-而不是後衛。 Iraq is the defender.伊拉克是後衛。 Therefore, as the attacker Bush is precluded from claiming self-defense when the defender attempts to defend itself.因此，作為攻擊布什是排除聲稱自衛時，後衛試圖為自己辯護。 Assume that an armed robber shoots at you.假設一個武裝強盜芽你。 You have the right of self-defense.你有自衛權。 You have the right to fire back at the robber.您有權還擊的強盜。 When you fire back, the law does not entitle the robber to claim “self-defense” when he fires at you again.當你還擊，法律沒有授權的強盜要求“自衛”時，火災你。 Since he was the one who initiated the attack, only his victim has the right of self-defense.因為他是一個誰發起的攻擊，只有他的受害者都有權自衛。 The principle is no different with respect to nations.原則是沒有什麼不同方面的國家。 Neither the Iraqi government nor the Iraqi people ever attacked the United States.無論是伊拉克政府也對伊拉克人民有史以來襲擊美國。 Instead, Bush and his army attacked Iraq.相反，布什和他的軍隊進攻伊拉克。 That makes the US the attacker, the aggressor.這使得美國的攻擊者，侵略者。 Iraq is the defender.伊拉克是後衛。 Was Bush’s attack legal?布什的攻擊合法的嗎？ Of course not.當然不是。 For one thing, wars of aggression were punished as war crimes at Nuremberg.對於一件事，侵略戰爭受到懲罰戰爭罪行在紐倫堡。 Second, Bush never secured a congressional declaration of war, which the US Constitution requires.其次，布什從來沒有擔保國會宣戰，而美國憲法的要求。 That makes Bush’s war on Iraq illegal under our form of government.這使得布什對伊拉克發動戰爭的非法根據我們的政府形式。 Third, the UN Charter, to which the US is a signatory, makes attacks on other countries illegal.第三，聯合國憲章，而美國是一個簽字，使攻擊其他國家的非法行為。 Thus, since Bush attacked Iraq, only Iraq can claim self-defense, not Bush.因此，自布什進攻伊拉克，只有伊拉克可以要求自我防衛，而不是布什。 Moreover, the principle is the same with respect to Bush’s recent attacks on Syria and Pakistan.此外，原則上是相同的關於布什最近對敘利亞的襲擊和巴基斯坦。 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.這不僅是布什的侵犯主權的那些國家是非法的，當他侵犯了伊拉克主權與他最初入侵，布什的自我防衛的理由是錯誤和荒謬的武裝匪徒的要求，他自己辯護從他的受害人的企圖為自己辯護。 The fact is that the Bush regime is going to do whatever it wants to do.事實是，布什政權將盡一切想做的事。 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.在布什的頭腦，不管他是法律和道義上的，因為它所有的“自由”或根據一些計劃的上帝。 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，所有的喧囂的必要性伊拉克人簽署協議延長布什的佔領該國是煙幕。 Bush obviously wants a cover for his continued occupation of the country.布什顯然希望掩蓋他的繼續佔領該國。 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，如果伊拉克政權未能簽署協議的最後期限12月31日，這不會阻止布什僱用他的軍隊任何方式，他希望。 That’s what he’s doing with Syria and Pakistan, and that’s what he will continue doing with Iraq.這是他所從事的與敘利亞和巴基斯坦，這就是他將繼續與伊拉克這樣做。 And it will all be legal, agreement or no agreement, because in Bush’s mind whatever the US government does is automatically legal.它將所有的法律，協議或任何協議，因為在布什的頭腦無論美國政府並不自動的法律。 Jacob Hornberger is founder and president
