Five years. The crime remains the same. Out now.

This above all else:  The US invasion of Iraq was a war of aggression.  It was and remains an unforgiveable offense against international law and basic human rights.  It is an offense against common sense and common decency.

Unforgiveable.

Iraq posed no threat to the security of America.  None.  Iraq was physically, geographically, economically, and militarily incapable of posing a threat to this country.

At the Nuremberg war crime trials -- the prosecution of Nazis for the aggression that led to World War II, and the horrific war crimes that followed -- the chief American prosecutor, Robert H. Jackson, said . . .

To initiate a war of aggression, therefore, is not only an international crime; it is the supreme international crime, differing only from other war crimes in that it contains within itself the accumulated evil of the whole.

Our country crossed the line.  We launched a war of aggression.  Worse, it was a war of choice and political opportunity.  We destroyed a country because we could.

The supreme international crime.

With bonus points.

There no can be excuse, no reason, no logic, no humanity, no morality, that can argue for the perpetuation of the supreme international crime.

The crime is done.  It can never be made right again.  But it can be brought to an end.

Out now.
