Ichy, GST doesn't know how to respond. It will be hand-wringing or volunteering some soon to be dead soldiers to "Go to North Korea and arrest the evil-doers and bring them back to the USA for a good talking to a nice cup of tea [or coffee] and then we can all live happily ever after". Maybe GST would like to volunteer to do the arresting. Mqurice

There is no mystery to self-defense. There is also no mystery to war crimes. All nations, including the US, have the right to self-defense. I have the right to self-defense. You have the right to self-defense. But neither you nor I have the right to murder people. Let me see if you are able to follow this: 1. Somebody attacks you personally, you respond to that attack by fighting back against that person until they have been subdued. If they die as a result of your self-defense, your basis for action is clear -- you are defending yourself. 2. You are angry about the attack and decide to find out where the children of the person who attacked you live. You hunt down these children and kill them. This is not self-defense -- it is murder.
