[kj] LIST CRETIN

[Jim Harper]

Nice. Exactly where did I suggest that George Bush had dressed up as an Iraqi? You stated "A War criminal is a leader who commits atrocities on a mass scale". I just pointed out the flaw.

Yes and as far as I know George and Tony never dressed up as Iraqis,The
enemy casualties were medically treated and fed,Even if they were not,The
responsibility would be with the persons directly involved.
The important thing is:Does anyone Know the criteria for legally engaging
in war?When does engaging in war become legal or illegal?
I would say that there would be a mass of rules and a mass of
loopholes,So until its been legally contested we should nt make assumptions.

> Erm...A war criminal is a person who breaks the rules and conventions of
war. Hence 'war' and 'criminal'. Dressing in enemy uniforms is a war crime.
Failure to treat enemy wounded is a war crime. Not feeding prisoners is a
war crime. The list goes on, but the point stands: 'atrocities on a mass
scale' is not the only category of war crime.
