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.

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?


The problem with academics and many of those complaining about CBUs is
that they are often coming from left-of-center. Sound familiar? Ramsey Clark
and his fronts for the WWP: "International Action Center and ANSWER" come
to mind. Kind of hard to understand the positions of such people when they
wave signs saying "Socialist Worker". Where were these folks when Saddam
was busy killing Kurds, Shiites, Kuwaitis, and Iranians? Saddam started two
wars and lost them. Anyone notice that
those complaining about CBUs were prewar apologists for Saddam?
He provoked a third, and lost his regime, power, and freedom. I'll take use
of CBUs to take out SAM sites, AAA and other artillery batteries, truck parks,
fuel and ammo dumps, radar stations, armor, and other military targets.
