"Cluster bombs called 'war crime'"
Cluster bombs called 'war crime'
Britain's use of cluster bombs in Iraq, similar to the ones used by the United States military, is a "war crime" and should be referred to the International Criminal Court (ICC) for prosecution, academics, lawyers and human rights activists in London said earlier this week. at http://www.washtimes.com/world/20040...3737-4342r.htm Why did the lawyers not sue Saddam Hussein first? Or the late Soviet leaders for the the Soviet Union's 1956 Invasion of Hungary? the 1968 Invasion of Czechoslovakia; and the 1979 invasion of Afghanistan? Will the late Yuri Andropov and Leonid Brezhnev be labeled as war criminals in historical terms? |

Let's also include the US President responsible for dropping the atomic bombs, the US President responsible for carpet bombing, napalm and agent orange in Vietnam. US hypocrisy never ceases to amaze me. |

Rats, may ask if you think that the greater loss of life that would have
resulted from a direct invasion of Japan would have a been a better alternative? |

Not to mention how many would have come home alive but with severe injuries. There was a batch of around 500,000 Purple Hearts made in 1945 in anticipation of the invasion of Japan. This batch lasted through Korea, Vietnam, Desert Storm and everything else along the way. AIUI, no new ones were manufactured until 2000. Cheers David |

To be honest, I was refering to the Japanese casaulties that would have
numbered in the millions. But your point is well taken. |

You think Rats considers vast American casualties a downside to any decision? That's icing on the cake for his type. -- Scott -------- The French, God bless them, are finally joining the war against Islamic extremism.

A cluster bomb is no more illegal than a rifle bullet. The use to which these instruments are put might constitute a crime under certain conditions however.

The lefties involved in these cases don't sue guys like Stalin because they know what he would do to them. Its easier and more profitable to whine about the USA because they know they can get away with it. |

Umm, what the **** are you going on about? This is about cluster bombs being used indiscriminately and killing civilians. Those accountable should be punished for their actions. The original poster said that Saddam and co should be sued as well. To this I agreed and also added the US presidents he'd conveniently left out. |
