Perhaps the most disgraceful aspect of the Iraq exercise, Thomas, is that all the perpetrators, neocons, criminal politicians and presidential supporters are all walking free with not a single sideways glance of condemnation from anyone, anywhere. When you get to the stage where crimes of 500,000 deaths of children alone fails to be the subject of criminal proceedings, as you mentioned in the Nuremberg comment and they are still welcomed wherever they go in the world and not condemned in the media, then such practices become the norm, as they are. The new standard
PS. How often do you see the word Yemen mentioned in the media. Other than those worthy people who work in that country trying to feed and care for the starving millions caused by Saudi Arabia, with all the rest of the US band of cooperating murderers?
I have been engaged for 40 years in advocacy for Palestine against all the devious dealings and support that comes from the US Congress, on my estimation, 70% + of whom are supported financially by Israel.
This is the most shameful example of inhumanity in my lifetime. I still think good deeds and worldwide action will bring the Israelis to heel, an apartheid regime deserving of international; censure.
With what they represent to have been through, somewhat exaggerated in my view, they should know better but it is the character of those people that emphasise that they know nothing about reason, kindness truth and humanity.
You NEVER see Yemen brought up. So, quick sidebar to all this...this past weekend was the inaugural event of LIV Golf, a Saudi backed circuit that was able to attract some very notable golfers away from the American PGA Tour. Naturally, Western media has magically found their integrity by questioning these players as to why they are taking "blood money" from the Saudis, citing their human rights abuses. Naturally, they never bring up Yemen as an example. For doing so, you'd need to explain how the US is aiding Saudi Arabia in the genocide. So, while the media is accusing the golfers of "sportswashing", they are complicit in US "whitewashing".
Considering that there was no Nuremberg-style court for the Iraq War, it looks like that will be our destiny.

Not to mention 20,000 Palestinian deaths at the hands of the Zionist Israeli ‘defence’ Force enabled by $5B gift per year from American tax payers.
This $5B is ring fenced just for the military on top of the $4B gifted per year for domestic use.
Are Americans aware of this as their cities go bankrupt and infrastructure crumbles?
Thanks Patrick.

Very pleasing to see your comment.

Well put, Thomas.
