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?

Because they ( the lawyers ) are looney leftists.
A cluster bomb is no more illegal than a rifle bullet.
The use to which these instruments are put might constitute
a crime under certain conditions however.

You won't. Art assiduously avoids all attempts to keep him honest.

The lefties involved in these cases don't sue guys like Stalin because they
know what he would do to them. Its easier and more profitable to whine
about the USA because they know they can get away with it.

Thank you Captain Obvious. I'm sure other readers caught the point without
being an ass.

Ok. As I didn't, obviously, as you say, because of being an ass, would
you care to explain it to me without referring to legal proceedings
against long-dead individuals?

Or were you just breaking wind?

Don't gas bag on.

Being called a war criminal is only has major consequences if you
loose a war or possibly are captured. If you're an American,
Russian, British and possibly Israeli that virtually guarantees that
it's irrelevant.

Loose and all that hype, propaganda and fabrications against you will
turn into victors justice.

(1) That leaders of state run the risk of having to justify themselves
in court is the consequence of the well-functioning of democracy
and the rule of law. To argue that it should not happen because
dictators do not have to justify themselves, amounts to a plea in
favour of totalitarianism -- the only form of government which is
compatible with unaccountable government.

(2) I have no doubt that in historical terms, Brezhnev and Andropov
will be judged harshly. But if the unpunished crimes of some could
serve as a sufficient excuse for the misdemeanours of others, the
courts of justice would be doomed to almost complete inactivity.

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.

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.
