Which wars should be prosecuted?
In researching a story about Saddam Hussein's second trial, OneWorld journalist Aaron Glantz came across a very interesting perspective about what has become known recently as "pre-emptive war." Former Nuremberg prosecutor Benjamin Ferencz calls it "aggressive war" and believes it's the most heinous crime that can be committed because it opens the door to all war crimes. More on that in today's news section,
Bush and Saddam Should Both Stand Trial, Says Nuremberg Prosecutor
Benjamin Ferencz, who secured convictions for 22 Nazi officers for their work in orchestrating the death squads that killed more than 1 million people, told OneWorld both George W. Bush and Saddam Hussein should be tried for starting "aggressive" wars--Saddam for his 1990 attack on Kuwait and Bush for his 2003 invasion of Iraq.

Great site! It always surprises me that so few of the people I speak with are informed. I'll pass this on...we need more intelligence.
Thanks for the visit! The 'Intelligence comes forth from those who can put thought to words, something my jumbled mind {too many thoughts} can't oftyen accomplish, plus the fact I'm a one handed typist {due to left hand work related injuries}. Passing on just a few Reports, Articles, etc., that others may miss, and the occasional personal thoughts, along with the many links, are what this is all about. Hopefully adding my Activism, time constrant, to everyone elses, in the Attempt to Bring Sanity to tis World of Destructive Behavior of Mankind making it Better for those who follow. Which is What Responsible Adults Should Be Doing!!
