All of them. And each act is other crime. I am just saying HE is not the only one doing them, we have done our fair share also, that all i was trying to say.
I agree with that!
I also believe the US should be held accountable for what they are doing in Iraq at the moment. I don't care about Iraqi soldiers, nor US or British soldiers, for that matter: those fools were stupid enough to enlist (well, the Coalition ones were). So please spare me any whining about casualties, please (sorry if I offended anyone with this remark, but this is my opinion: you wanted this damn war!)
I do care about innocent civilians paying the price for the decisions politicians take (Bush, Blair< Saddam and all the rest responsible for the war), on the other hand. I don't know what kind of bombs the US is using currently (cluster bombs, bunker busters and more, equally nasty stuff), but there has been a horrible civilian death count already (ie. Hillah, where the Int. Red Cross has confirmed dozens of children and women died because of the air attacks: the severity of the injuries rule out anything but cluster bombs).
Probably not as many as the Iraqi media claims, but at least a couple of hundreds as of yet (still rising...)
And also, I'd like to add this: you say you want to 'liberate' the Iraqi people, which I guess is indeed an honest and upright goal of this war.
But somehow it seems that the US fails to realize that for every bomb dropped, every innocent person killed in this war on terror you are ensuing, you'll create dozens, or perhaps even hundreds or thousands of new enemies to the US (potential terrorists, suicide attackers etc. turning against the US or US targets).
So, in a way, you are calling even more bloodshed and sorrow on yourself by following this policy (ie. the Bush Doctrine), but this circle will not be broken (probably get even worse) as long as Bush and his warmongers have power (I mean, they are already starting to threaten other countries: to me it seems like they want a long war, if not in Iraq, then elsewhere).
Let me make clear that I'm not against the current war against Iraq: even though I'm not in favor of it, I'm realistic enough to understand that it's inevitable and that this is the only way to get rid of Saddam and his regime....
But the way it's legitimated, and more importantly, conducted, does bother me, a lot!
