Peter T.-

You are absolutely right. When I brought this information forward in another thread, the feedback was that it was alright because, technically, it wasn't napalm, and technically, white phosphorous was only used for illumination.

I guess this brings up the most glaring example of technics vs. ethics.

Funny though, the U.S. is not known for adhering to anything it agrees to anyway. So whether they are or are not signators to an agreement, is a moot point.

In other words, the U.S. doesn't care what is considered ethically, responsible behaviour whether its about war or anything else. They do whatever they have to do to 'win'. This is what has destroyed the reputation of the U.S. There is no longer a sense of what is fair and right.

So what if a few civilians get burned to the bone. The important thing is that there are no reporters or photographers present.
