I don't understand why you cannot understand that destroying a hospital is a war crime. Now here is another picture of the rubble of Nazzal Hospital. There are American hospitals run by all sorts of charities, as there are the world over. It was a legitimate hospital, although small. It treated sick and injured people. I can't imagine what kind of person would destroy a hospital unless they had ironclad documentation that it was not being used as a hospital at all, and the Americans have offered no such evidence:

Now Falljuah General Hospital was the main hospital in Fallujah. When you say we closed it to prevent it from being used as a propaganda weapon during a military operation, do you see any inherent problem in that statement? It is still a hospital, still being used to treat sick and injured Fallujans. What gives us the right to close a hospital just so they cannot report how many sick and injured there are to the organizations trying to do Iraqi body counts? You don't see that as a little fascistic or something, for lack of a better word? How about if American soldiers just leave the wounded lying around and come back the next day and shoot at least one of them dead? Is that a better solution than leaving a hospital open?
