Is it your view that when a U.S. President, armed with intelligence about Iraq's WMD programs, makes an announcement like the one set forth below, and sends in planes to bomb Iraqi targets, it is a crime? That it is on a par with the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait? If you are interested in discussing whether or not the recent invasion and the ongoing occupation of Iraq by US/UK forces is "a crime", I would be happy to contribute my two cents. Let us start by saying that what the US president SAYS has no bearing whether or not the act is "a crime". I don't think there is a legal way for something not to be a crime depending on what the perpetrators say before they embark on their actions. Second, if you would like to withdraw this comment on how the president was "armed with intelligence about Iraq's WMD programs", I won't hold it against you :-) You must have noticed that the stuff he was "armed with" was hot air at best and willful deceit in order to conjure public support for this invasion (i.e. lies) at worst. By the way, I posted that reader's letter to the editor because I found interesting one of his comments. Do you have anything to say on that?
