I was not really going to seriously pursue the topic of my previous entry, meaning 2003 invasion of Iraq and its consequences, until I bumped into this, shocking beyond belief:
Iraqi citizen murders servicemen suspects
The shocking matter here is not so much war crimes committed by British soldiers, that happens in every war, but complete lack of prosecution. Britain seems to be a country of relatively high judicial standards and yet there's so much negligence and ill will there.
To sum it up somehow, it is obvious that it doesn't really matter who starts a war or is a war criminal but only is who is the winner. Victors write history, losers are sent to the gallows.
