There is no NEED to rush off to war, here. That is the point. We should at least TRY to use our existing laws first. I think they probably could work in this situation.
Missed this, sorry.

This is part of what I was talking about re. "arrogant" (Ducks for cover) Your laws mean nothing in Afganistan, just as Wahabi Sunni Law means nothing here. You cannot go around imposing your laws on sovereign states. That is imperialism, and is the source of much anger in other nations - even your allies. Respect is what's important.

In this case, be honest. War disregards a sovereign states rights. Call the spade a spade.
