War Crimes That We Should Be Discussing More Actively — 1 Comment

  1. It would be nice to get some epidemiologists rather than journalists out there to have a look.

    I’ve no doubt the invasion has been a disaster for the Iraqi people but I would want to see some data to go with Jamail’s anecdotes before I drew conclusions about increased birth defects or their causes.

    But if it can be shown that US weaponry has indeed caused a surge in cancer and birth defects I don’t know that it follows that we should be discussing it as a war crime. Whatever you think of the morality underlying the use of such weapons it is probably not technically a war crime to do so.

    And would ‘discussing’ them make a shred of difference?

    It seems to me we’ve been discussing Agent Orange for over forty years now and its hard to see what benefit that has been to Vietnamese villagers or US veterans.

    OK, Agent Orange isn’t used any more, but as Jamail points out there is no shortage of toxic weaponry being deployed to replace it.

    And I was one of the millions of people worldwide who marched against the Iraq war – to no effect whatsoever. Why would we think *discussing* things would change anything?

    I suspect the powers that be are quite happy for us to discuss war crimes until we’re blue in the face.
    Maybe its time to do something a bit more substantial.
