War Criminals

I did not watch the conventions on TV...... it all struck me as a dog and pony show, frankly. But there was something I missed - as pointed out on Arther Silber's blog. Al Gore spoke and said this:

and redeployed the troops to invade a nation that did not attack us

Well, that confirms that the invasion and occupation was a war crime - because Iraq did not attack us. Iraq did not even threaten the USA. This is called a war of aggression, just like Hitler's wars of aggression, and a violation of the Nuremberg principles.

Of course, this comment went unnoticed at the Democratic Convention, because they were touting how the invasion and occupation of Afghanistan is the "right war" which I happen to think is pure idiocy, and also a war crime.

But there is a difference between this election and the election of 2004 --- in 2004, both candidates were also war criminals, just like today. However, back in 2004, both candidates were also members of 'skull and bones'. Is this an improvement that Obama and McCain are not members of a secret society called 'skull and bones'? I just don't know.
