[Mister Black]

You cannot seroiously suggest that American troops may be arrested  , the 1948 Nuremberg laws was put in place for extreme crimes and genocide by the Nazis , has any soldiers ever been prosecuted by their own nation for fighting in a war ?
   You can say all you like and twist it as much as you like, but the bottom line is that Saddam refused to abide by the 1991 ceasefire agreement, which this alone makes the latest Iraq war justified and legal , and I'm really not interested on what some person that I ve never heard of thinks .
  The War was a legal war due to saddanm not complying with the 19991 ceasefire agreement. Its that simple.

The debate about whether or not the IRaq troops are guilty is an important debate that we often have in my commie party...speaking of, has anyone seen the film "Sir, No Sir!". It's about the resistance and rebellion against the war by the GIs in Vietnam and is supposed to be awesome...people in my party often say that this was the main reason (troop rebellion) the US didn't "win" in Vietnam...There are also at least a couple of Iraq war veteran groups that are against the war.
