War is the most horrific series of events upon which any government can engage. It is systematic, industrialized, indiscriminate killing. It kills innocent adults and little girls. It often ruins the post-war lives of the killers. It is young men violently fighting old men’s power games. It is the health of the state. — Judge Andrew P. Napolitano
Terrorism is the war of the poor, and war is the terrorism of the rich. — Peter Ustinov
Since the attack on Iran was inaugurated by a powerful state rather than tattooed street gangs, the criminals responsible will never be punished. There will be no comparable Nuremberg trials in which holier-than-thou accusers sentenced to death Nazi leaders for crimes against humanity. In Iran, the “mistake” of killing over 100 civilians, mostly children, after a US Tomahawk missile turned an elementary school to rubble was a result of outdated intelligence we are told, as if that excuses it, and was therefore not intentional and therefore not a crime against humanity. The US has a policy of not intentionally killing children, we hope.

Nor will the attack on Iran — it’s not a war, it’s a “Middle East conflict” — ever be seen as a crime, as we know from history. Going back to WW II again, did any international body ever punish the US for atomic bombing Japan? Or firebombing Dresden or Tokyo? Of course not. Dissent from General Eisenhower and Admiral Leahy about using the Bomb didn’t stop it from happening. Truman overruled everyone, just as Trump does today. Dissent from two military leaders — what do they know? Propaganda about saving military lives won the day. Victors don’t commit war crimes.
