Falk has also published a number of notable books and essays analyzing the legality of the Vietnam War and other military operations, including the Iraq invasion.
A year ago he played a prominent role in a Citizens’ hearing on the legality of the Iraq War as a tribunal testifier. Of the Invasion he has previously written:
"inescapable that an objective observer would reach the conclusion that this Iraq war is a war of aggression, and as such, that it amounts to a Crime against Peace of the sort for which surviving German leaders were indicted, prosecuted and punished at the Nuremberg trials conducted shortly after the Second World War."

And what should the German people have done? What should We the People do? The parallels between Nazi Germany and what we see today in America are hard to ignore:
-Gun Control legislation straight from Germany
-The President working under secret rules, like Presidential Signing Statement to ignore legislation passed by Congress.
-Including ignoring bans against torture
-Extraordinary Rendition
-“I’m the decider [dictator], and I decide what’s best.” --George W. Bush
-“The Bush administration is still stubbornly clinging to its misguided desire to classify documents that have been public for decades.” – Washington Post (8/21/2002)
-War based upon lies. “You know, one of the hardest parts of my job is to connect Iraq to the war on terror.” --George W. Bush (2006) “I’m a war president. I make decisions here in the Oval Office in foreign-policy matters with war on my mind.” --George W. Bush

Concerned about the dangers of unchecked executive power, the Founding Fathers deliberately assigned Congress the sole authority to make war. But the last time Congress did so was in 1941, after the Japanese attack on Peal Harbor – since then, every president from Harry Truman to George W. Bush has used military force in pursuit of imperial objective without congressional authorization. In vivid detail, War Powers recounts this story of subversion from above. Drawing on congressional hearings, Supreme Court opinions, media reports, and scholarly accounts, legal historian Peter Irons examines how the Constitution has been trampled upon as presidents have usurped a shared, solemn power – eschewing congressional approval and often suspending civil liberties in the process.
