German journalist Lars Schall interviews Francis A. Boyle, American professor for international law at the University of Illinois, Champaign. In their discussion, Boyle points out that the war that is still going on in Afghanistan has been illegal from the beginning. In fact, George W. Bush’s motivation and intent for going to war against Afghanistan was that he wanted to “kick some ass”.
