So commonplace are these wanton acts of violence by US forces that the US-installed leader of Afghanistan, Hamid Karzai, has publicly called for a halt to them, because of the number of innocent Afghan citizens being killed. Iraqis too, are enraged at the number of innocent victims of US bombings in places like Sadr City, where the killing of innocent children by US bombs has become a deadly routine.

No one%u2014not one person%u2014in the US military, the Pentagon or the Bush administration has been prosecuted for war crimes or criminal violations for these atrocities.

It becomes clearer and clearer with the passing of time that Bush%u2019s and Cheney%u2019s so-called War on Terror is actually a War of Terror, being waged against the people of such places as Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan and Somalia.

At least in Israel, some citizens are willing to call such behavior criminal, and to demand a halt to it.

In Afghanistan, in Iraq, in Pakistan, in Somalia and elsewhere, the US regularly launches missiles, often from remote controlled drone aircraft, and drops large bombs on houses and even larger compounds, sometimes destroying whole villages at a time, in order to hit individual alleged terrorists. Often, it turns out on investigation that the target individuals weren%u2019t even present at the scene of these bloody massacres of civilians.

I don''t think the civilians in these countries hold ill will toward us for the murder of their families and neighbors.....they''ll probably just turn out to throw candy and flowers,.....

The Regime has said that if we didn''t fight al Qaeda in Iraq...they would come here...Now, if there is no place for them to ''hide'' in Iraq, as the good admiral claims...Where will they go?--Here?...Here to join that great "American al Qaeda"...the Jewish kid, Adnan Gadahn, perhaps?

American and Israeli War Crimes: Same Atrocities, Different Responses

In the last few days, both the Israeli military and the US military have fired missiles into homes, in an effort to target what they said were terrorists, in the process killing many innocent civilians.

But what a contrast we see in both the reporting on these events, and in the response within the two countries!

In the Israeli case, the IDF fired a missile into a family home in Gaza, killing a mother and her four young children, who were eating breakfast at the time. The children were aged 6 years through 15 months. While the IDF and the Israeli government blamed the tragedy on Hamas, saying it operates in proximity of civilians and is thus responsible for their deaths, an Israeli human rights group, B%u2019Tselem, has caqlled for a criminal investigation into the killings, saying that Israel and the IDF have violated internation law by firing the missile in a densely populated area where civilian casualties would be likely. A spokesman for the group, Sarit Michaeli, says that Israeli claims that it is not responsible for such deaths are incorrect, and adds that under international law, %u201CEven if you attack a legitimate military target, the anticipated damage has to be in proportion to the anticipated gain.

Mission Accomplished

"He said there was "no place for al Qaeda" to hide in Iraq"....

Uhhh...but bombs keep going off. So if there is no place for al Qaeda to hide, how do you explain the bombs?

Did the Boy Scouts of Iraq create an IED merit badge?
