Most American war criminals don't even spend time in jail! They hanged a lot of Japanese and German war criminals after WW2. Most American war criminals don’t even spend time in jail!

If you get a chance to watch it, it's called "The Power of Nightmares" and is in 3 parts. I think it's well worth a watch. I suspect the Iraq occupation has probably achieved a great deal of what it is intended to. I don't want to speak for the USians, but it seems to me that UK governments - whenever their popularity is waning - have a habit of sending our young people to stand somewhere dangerous and asking us all to 'support' them, as well as reminding us that disagreeing with what they're doing will mean that all those deaths will be in vain. I was just trying to think of a way of sending my copy to you, but I see YouTube has it in parts and Google Video has it in full - well, the first part anyway, and then lots of links seem to be broken. Hmmm, some links suggest veoh has it, but then I'm told there's a problem with me being in Malaysia! Try the intro, maybe it'll be 'up your street': http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qk1WkmioQvA The BBC made a nice documentary a few years ago which blamed shoring up hierarchies for these things, rather than just the economy.

If Charles Taylor and Slobodan Milosevic can be detained and made to answer for their crimes in an International Court of Justice, why can't these three? If the UN stands for impartial human rights for all, then it must be seen to be doing so, irrespective of how powerful or weak the countries from which an accused war criminal may come.

Let me send you a video clip and the evidence presented, as to show that US needed an excuse to move into Iraq. It was more of "Weapons of Mass Deception" rather than "Destruction" Anil

Iraq has the second largest proven oil reserves in the world, after Saudi. Saudi Arabia, formerly known as Arabia is ruled by the Al-Saud family, and they are no very popular. They were put out there by the Brits, Europeans and US after WWII. US is afraid that the puppets would be overthrown just like Iran or China (who thrown out the manchu outsiders). This would cause them to loose their oil supply, probably to China/ Russia. US/Canada (ie North AMerica)has huge oil reserves too but their are not touching it. They would suck others before touching their own. Take a look at the world map, Iran could easily choke the flow of oil and by blocking the Straits of Hormuz,in the Persian Gulf. Saudi Arabia would have problem getting the oil and gas out.They need to go thru Syria (already a US crony) and it is nearer from Iraq's oilfields.

This was about 2 or 3 years ago. It was plainly evident that the Bush admin had deceived and engineered their way into this war. But lately, thanks to Antares' posting, http://magickriver.blogspot.com/2009/10/charlie-sheen-20-minutes-with-president.html, the bigger picture has started to emerge for me... that even the Afghan war was on the agenda of the neocons even before Bush took office! 9/11 was the pretext! The recent signing of the oil pipeline agreement in Afghanistan was just one culmination of what the industrial-military complex had been hankering for. For starters on this new and shocking worldview, go to http://www.ae911truth.org/. A UK-based organisation has already said more than a million Iraqi civilians have died.
