Phil > your accusation that I am arguing against myself was like a kettle calling the pot black, was it not? You yourself am a master of that, I am but a student

Ah! Another madman! Welcome to the club.

"Sometimes naked,
Sometimes mad,
Now as a scholar,
Now as a fool,
Thus they appear on earth ---
The free men!"

Hindu proverb.

Phil > Such self deprecating sacrifice, such commitment for the greater good without reward, why it is the epitome of the best in human endeavor.

>>>Is the U.S. military committing war crimes? Who will hold Lt. Col. Steven Russell et al. responsible? Under international laws, it is a war crime to punish Iraqi civilians for the Iraqi resistance downing U.S. military helicopter(s).

The international media, including the U.S. press, has responsibility to expose suspected war crimes and to investigate it thoroughly. The crimes being committed by the occupying powers of Iraq should not remain buried for years.

Only recently the Toledo Blade published an account of war crimes committed by an “elite” military unit during the United States military intervention in Vietnam. The international press has recently revealed the collective burial grounds that existed under Saddam Hussein’s regime and various other violations of human rights, but alas it was way too long after these crimes were actually committed. The media must not shut its eyes to the war crimes that are being committed right now and which can be prevented.<<<
