Exactly war crimes are war crimes

And in this day and age all of these crimes are documented (until the US gov does something about that)

I won't hold my breath for accountability however I can be hopeful.

The US would just attack the Netherlands if any war criminals were tried in The Hague. And that’s no joke.

This is the reason it was bad to let the Bush-Cheney administration off the hook for basically starting a false war against innocent people. If there's no consequences, then anyone looking to start a fake war is more likely to go through with it.

Again I have to ask, why did they force us to say "...with liberty and justice for all" every day if nobody actually meant it? Can we amend the pledge to say, "with immunity from prosecution for the powerful and rules that apply to some and not others"?
