Hi,
American Soldiers can not be tried for War Crimes by the International Criminal Court. Almost EVERY Government backs the ICC.
I think there is a culture of arrogance, that the US is a force of Good triumphing over Evil around the World. This is a very bad view and outlook on the world.
We are all the Children of Adam. No matter where we are from or our background. Whether that person is a Jew, Christian or a Buddhist, we were all born the same and are the same flesh and blood. Issues such as kindness and heart for living things can be the same. These are issues to do with the heart and it is Allah that inspires living things to care for one another.
There are good and bad people in all walks of life. There is no use if we communicate insults to each other, or look down on others.
Unfortunately, the US, UK and many other countries in Europe have a history of doing just that. Did you know that under US law it was illegal for a white woman to marry a man from another race? Blacks could not even sit on same bus, and are still underprivilidged.
There are many problems in the society which wants to implement enforced occupation and destruction on other countries. We are here to concentrate on the human rights side of things and justice in today's age.
The Value of a Dead Afghan: Revealed and Relative
On May 7, 1999, a U.S. B-52 bomber dropped three JDAM bombs upon the Chinese Embassy in Belgrade. Three young Chinese journalists were killed and 27 other persons in the embassy were wounded. Four months later, the United States agreed to pay $4.5 million in damages to the families of the deceased and to the injured. This amounts to about $150,000 per victim. When a U.S. marine jet hit aerial tramway cables in Italy not too long ago, the U.S. gave close to $2 million to each Italian victim.
On July 1, 2002, a U.S. AC-130 gunship attacked and strafed four villages in the Deh Rawud district of Uruzagan, killing more than 60 innocent Afghans and wounding about 120 others. The American troops which occupied the villages offered tents and blankets as compensation. A week later, the U.S.-installed and backed Karzai regime offered the Afghan wedding victims $18,500 in compensation, or about $100 per victim -- the payments were $200 on behalf of each individual killed and $75 for each wounded person, using Afghan regime figures of 48 killed and 118 wounded.
