Is the War on Terror? by Rick Berg Connecting the dots..... As you read the news from Fallujah & now Mosul please recall that in 1946, the Nuremberg Tribunal rejected German arguments of the necessity for preemptive attacks against its neighbors and instead outlawed preventive war as a crime against the peace. In the Tribunal's judgment: "To initiate a war of aggression, therefore, is not only an international crime; it is the supreme international crime differing only from other war crimes in that it contains within itself the accumulated evil of the whole." possibly 800 civilian dead in Fallujah; the killing of a wounded Iraqi in a mosque;& of course our plan to rebuild Fallujah,-- some companies will turn a nice profit ...nothing like a little war to help the bottom line.praise jesus rick THE ROVING EYE

More from the Bard "Beware the leader who bangs the drums of war in order to whip the citizenry into a patriotic fervor, for patriotism is indeed a double-edged sword.

But NBC News has learned that long before the war the Bush administration had several chances to wipe out his terrorist operation and perhaps kill Zarqawi himself — but never pulled the trigger.
