Im not anti USA I am anti WAR CRIMES!!!!!!!!
I decided the other day to do something about the WAR CRIMES the usa is comiting in Iraq and afgainstain by helping in a small way to fund a group of lawers that are hoping to charge and hold account the US adminstration over the War Crimes that the USA is comiting and continuies to comit i believe that what the USA is doing when it comits these crimes is very very wrong and they should be brought to justice NOW before you dismiss this as bull shit here are the facts
We are talking about three categories. The first are crimes against peace. After Nuremberg an idea took hold that launching an aggressive war is the supreme international crime. There are only a few specific circumstances where a state can use force against another state. The U.N. charter says either you need a resolution from the Security Council or you need to be acting in self-defense from an imminent and immediate attack. In the current situation, the U.S. launched an aggressive war in Iraq that even Kofi Annan declared illegal.
The second category of crimes concern the conduct of the war and occupation. This would include the administration’s use of illegal weapons, such as napalm, white phosphorus, and cluster bombs. It includes a failure to protect civilians. It includes trying to break the Iraqi insurgency with collective punishment against the civilian population—with acts like cutting off water supplies. This is a practice we saw in Fallujah and elsewhere, and which the U.N. has condemned.
Fallujah actually summarizes several of these crimes. There we had eight weeks of bombing, they distroyed 36,000 houses, 60 schools, and 65 mosques. One of the military’s first acts was to storm the hospital. The U.S. cut off all food supplies, all power to the entire city. The Defense Department said that all the civilians were out at the time of the attack, but reports show that 30,000 to 50,000 civilians remained in the city. The U.S. blocked the Red Crescent from entering. All males between 15 and 55 weren’t allowed to leave. So in Iraq, Falljah has become iconic of American war crimes and brutality.
The third set of war crimes centers on torture. Here, the question is not whether it’s happening, it’s how often and who’s responsible. The FBI reports cases of strangulation, burning with cigarettes, routine beatings.
This is what they are getting up to and they should be held accountable dont you think ... comments more than welcome on this one ......
Love you all
