Iraq war a International War Crime

This video was made with clips gathered from youtube.Many of these clips were shot by US troops and reporters.

The least that we can do is to inform ourselves about what our trillions in military tax-dollars are doing to the Iraqi people.

Over the past ten years there have been many polls taken of the American puplics opinion on US foreign policy.

When asked how much their government should take into account world public opinion in developing its foreign policy, Americans give a response of 6.6 on a 0-10 scale (with 10 meaning "a great deal"), however when asked how much their government does take world public opinion into account, they give the lowest score (3.9) among all countries polled. Sixty-five percent say the government should consider world public opinion more than it already does.

A large majority of Americans believes that the United Nations plays a necessary role in the world and supports US participation in the UN. Large majorities would like the UN to be stronger than it is and support even rather extreme options for giving greater powers to the UN including giving it the power to intervene in the internal affairs of states and having its own standing peacekeeping force. Large majorities favor the US working through the UN more than it does even if this means the US has to accept compromises and would prefer to see the UN rather than the US take the lead in dealing with world issues.

Seven out of ten Americans (69%) preferred the argument that "as the world becomes more interconnected, and problems such as terrorism and the environment are of a more international nature, it will be increasingly necessary for the US to work through international institutions."

Its true, Blair and Bush must be brought up for these crimes, for the sake of Humanity.

History ALWAYS repeats, and people NEVER learn.

I dream of the day when the war criminals are brought to trial for all the suffering of innocnet lives.

It doesn't take much intelligent thinking to realize all of America's war for for limited resources, mainly oil.

A bullies victimize and America is a bully.

Are any foreign powers currently meddling in Somalia ?

Are any foreign powers currently meddling anywhere else in Africa ?

Is Africa and its resources run and owned by and used for Africans ?

Do you know what AFRICOM means ?

@ewingsco The U.N. is unfortunately UNusable by anyone. The U.S. congress is more capable than the UN and that is really saying something. As far as world peace goes, I doubt it is in human nature to establish a lasting peace, especially when half of the world is struggling and the other half is flaunting it's wealth. Case in point is the somali pirates, they only want money, not a war, but their actions result in armed response.

@CitrusLizard

Thatr's not what I meant.

What I meant was the US (and by association, Israel) will use the UN if it works in their interests.

And they will -ignore- the UN

When it doesn't.

A poor lookout for 'world peace', no ?

[CitrusLizard]

@ewingsco I agree they are powerles, but that dosn't mean they are in league with the U.S.

[ewingsco]

@Lizard

So you see my point.

[CitrusLizard]

@ewingsco They have been sending them harsh letters, which is about all you're going to get out of them.

@Lizard

Enforcement mechanisms for international law are dispensed with if they go against US international interests. They are used if these interests coincide.

Enforcement mechanisms for international law have no teeth or power.

So the US / anglos / zionists just go kill who they want to & take what they want to.

Do you think such bodies have had any luck prosecuting Israel for it's aggressive border expansion and it's occupation and oppression of Palestine ?

Answer ?

[CitrusLizard]

@ewingsco No there are enforcement mechanisms for international law, they just arn't prosecuting the U.S. The reason I say go get them to say we're breaking laws, is you're not going to find a reputable one who will.

[ewingsco]

@Lizard

Oh so 'There Is No Enforcement Mechanism For International Law'

is your justification for War Crimes huh ?

That's just what an inhuman ass like you would say.

I love America by the way (driven across it twice)

it's your 'fuck everybody' war criminal foreign policy I can't stand.

Why do you need someone else to tell you whether bombing countries back to the stone age is a war crime ?

Are you the sort of man who needs someone else to tell you what a war crime is ?
