and it was a delibarate action, then he should come to trial. If International law and trials are going to have any meaning,then any crimes committed by any sides should be tried. If there's nothing to it,there can be an acquital. Some of those charged in the Balkans have been acquited. Even at Nuremberg, three people were found not guilty.

The one thing to be careful about here though is whether it was all his decision or whether there were orders. One of the problems when Lt. Calley was charged with crimes in the Vietnam error, was that those above him who issued orders were not charged. It is not right to charge just the person carrying out orders without charging those who issued them.

It's your habit of putting words in people's mouth, first trying to claim that I was saying Israel was acting on behalf of God and morality when I hadn't mentioned either one and then claiming that I was saying all Israelis were perfect and all Palestinians were terrorists.

It's the usual way you jump to extreme conclusions like deciding when you decided I liked Ronald Reagan because I didn't like Clinton, which was not a logical conclusion and not based on anything I actually said.
