Subject: BS: Is the U.S. guilty of war crimes?
I believe that if Saddam is guilty of war crimes, so is the U.S.

How can they accuse him of atrocities when they are also commiting atrocities? They are both guilty but I think the U.S. is even more guilty because they have waged war against the Iraqi people, long after Saddam was overthrown. It is, in fact, a war of aggression.

"To initiate a war of aggression, therefore, is not only an international crime; it is the supreme international crime differing only from other war crimes in that it contains within itself the accumulated evil of the whole." - Judgment of the International Military Tribunal for the Trial of German Major War Criminals - Nuremberg, Germany 1946
