Attacking ISIS in Syria, without authorization from the UN Security Council, [ violates the treaties that created the UN ]( http://www.commondreams.org/views/2014/09/24/obama-bombs-syria-and-threatens-wider-war-violation-un-charter ) , and Obama's argument that it is Iraq's right of self-defense is invalid. If it were valid, it would [ equally well authorize Assad to bomb Turkey ]( http://www.commondreams.org/views/2014/09/24/obamas-novel-lawyering-bomb-syria ) . The ethical argument that convinces me it is right to bomb ISIS forces in the field as they try to conquer cities and big dams is that we must protect those people from horrible oppression including mass murder. I don't know how that plays out against the UN charter, but that's not the argument Obama made.
