Sarmad,

Yes the killings in response to Kurdish uprisings and Shiia uprising were crimes. They should be punished.

How do you propose doing the punishment? Asking them to come to the ICC? I don't mean to offend, but if a tyrant doesn't want to play nice and hides behind civilians won't someone get hurt?

What do you think the response of the US occupation army will be

I can tell you it won't be to depopulate hundreds of villages and kill every living thing.

In the process of killing terrorists, a small number of civilians will die and someone will paint the picture you are doing - the moral equivalancy of a few deaths to hundreds of thousands.

Maybe Stalin was right - a single event (such as the boy in the picture) is a tragedy. Killing millions is a statistic.
