Indeed, there's a refusal to even acknowledge why it was wrong to invade Iraq.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.straightgoods.ca/ViewFeature8.cfm?REF=185"><P><FONT size="-1" face="Arial,Sans Serif">Sure, there's lots of criticism of the Bush administration for poor war planning, and for squandering US lives and "treasure". </FONT></P><P> <FONT size="-1" face="Arial,Sans Serif">All this is true, but it skirts a more fundamental problem — one that was barely mentioned in all the fifth-year anniversary commentaries last week — that the invasion was a war of aggression carried out in defiance of international law. </FONT></P><P> <FONT size="-1" face="Arial,Sans Serif">This is not a mere technicality. According to the Nuremberg Tribunal, set up by the Allies after World War II: "War is essentially an evil thing... To initiate a war of aggression, therefore, is not only an international crime; it is the supreme international crime."</FONT></P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.straightgoods.ca/ViewFeature8.cfm?REF=185"><P><FONT size="-1" face="Arial,Sans Serif">None of this seems to concern Senator Hillary Clinton, who stands a good chance of being the "anti-war" candidate in the US presidential election. </FONT></P><P> <FONT size="-1" face="Arial,Sans Serif">Of course, Clinton voted in 2002 to authorize an invasion of Iraq. </FONT></P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;"> </td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/BD01A0DD-F2E8-4614-AF19-564ED9E7416E/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
