To paraphrase—awkwardly—that 70s-era lyric, "International Law! What Is It Good For? Absolutely. Nothing! Good God!"
Lucretia host's this week's episode, which combines her skepticism of international law, especially as it relates to our current military operations against Iran, along with her impatience with our willful refusal to take radical Islam seriously, now that Islam-inspired violence in the U.S. is now a daily occurence.
The first topic was inspired by John Yoo's latest article on the subject; the latter subject inspired by the news headlines, needless to say.
Oh, we also make the case briefly for invading Iceland. It has to do with hamburgers.
Also there are dogs.

When is someone considered an accessory before (and after) the fact? If a person sides with a radical who commits an act of terror (will not drop a dime on them?) is that considered being an accessory?

John sounded so wise, so reasonable, so knowledgeable, and then.... "Muslims don't like dogs?"

I didn't listen to the podcast, but I think that's a thing in Islam as dogs are considered unclean.

The dilemma for a pleuralistic USA is that orthodox Islam does not allow for pleuralism. Any law that is not sharia is not legitimate. Yes, there are nonorthodox muslims, but the terms of debate, on any subject, are by and large set by the true believers.
In N Texas, there are several developements that want to produce Sharia compliant communities. Even to the point of offering to provide law enforcement for these communities. Guess what this will mean for: status of women, beginning but not ending with head coverings for women, dogs, alcohol sales and possession, muzzeins, toleration for other religions. Just try to get a building/occupancy permit for a church. And this is just the thin edge of the wedge.
