The group said no mass killing was underway or imminent in Iraq when war began.
THAT'S GREAT! So if Herr Hitler had simply shut down the ovens in 1945, we could all just have gone home and left him in power!
Are you a Saddamista or al Qaeda?
But Human Rights Watch rejected such claims
And we all know they are never wrong.
ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Atrocities such as Hussein's mass killing of Kurds in 1998 would have justified humanitarian intervention, Roth said.
And you and your ilk would have yelled just as loud.
"But such interventions should be reserved for stopping an imminent or ongoing slaughter," he added. "They shouldn't be used belatedly to address atrocities that were ignored in the past."
So when you run out of targets, everything is just hunky dory, right?
Oh, and when did HRW get to determine US foreign policy?
The 407-page Human Rights Watch World Report 2004 also said the US government was applying "war rules" to the struggle against global terrorism and denying terror suspects their rights. It suggested that "police rules" of law enforcement should be applied in such cases instead.
Sounds like a matter of opinion. And their opinion doesn't count. 3,000 dead in one incident sounds like war to me.
"In times of war you can detain someone summarily until the end of the war, and you can shoot to kill. And those are two powers that the Bush administration wants to have globally," Roth said. "I think that's very dangerous."
Possibly the stupidest comment in the whole piece. Your local police are armed and dangerous, remember? They can shoot to kill.
The group, which is based in New York, also said European and other governments were ignoring human rights abuses in the conflict in Chechnya.

OH! You want to drag the snot-nosed effetes from Europe into this? They sat there and watched slaughter and genocide IN THEIR OWN BACK YARD (Yugoslavia) and did absolutely nothing about it until the US intervened in ANOTHER military action which was not approved by your precious UN. And parts of which HRW also whined about.
Tell you what. Leave for your homeland in the fertile crescent. If you need help, don't call, us. |
