Some shorter posts today as we try to recover from yesterday's massive hack. Juan Cole alerts us to yet another war crime spawned by the meta-war crime that is the Bush-Blair rape-and-ruin war of aggression against Iraq: Bombing occupied cities from the air. From Juan Cole: Late Saturday, the US Air Force launched a series of bombing raids on southeast Baghdad. This is absolutely shameful, that the US is bombing from the air a civilian city that it militarily occupies. You can't possibly do that without killing innocent civilians, as at Ramadi the other day. It is a war crime. US citizens should protest and write their congressional representatives. It is also the worst possible counter-insurgency tactic anyone could ever have imagined. You bomb people, they hate you. The bombing appears to have knocked out what little electricity some parts of Baghdad were still getting. *** blog comments powered by Disqus |
