In the Name of Democracy: American War Crimes in Iraq and Beyond

...page 45
U.S. Admits it Used Napalm Bombs in Iraq
Andrew Buncombe
American pilots dropped...during the advance on Baghdad...Pentagon denied using napalm at the time, but Marine pilots and their commanders have confirmed that they used an upgraded version......which uses kerosene rather than petrol...
page 280
Enforcing International Law Through Civil Disobedience:
The Trial of the St. Patrick's Four
...Nonviolent civil disobedience in protest of war has a long tradition in the United States, dating back at least to Henry David Thoreau's going to jail to protest the U.S. war against Mexico...
...because the United Nations had not approved the invasion of Iraq, the invasion was a series of illegal acts that constitute war crimes. Therefore, they had a right under the Nuremburg principles to try to stop war crimes...
page 308
Why War Crimes Matter
Brendan Smith
page 317
..."Like a sheriff with a posse of deputies, international law is slowly catching up with the Bush administration."...
page 327
The Responsibility of Americans
...People in many countries have found themselves to be citizens of states that conduct wars of aggression, kill civilians, tyrannize occupied territories, and torture prisoners....France in Algeria...Soviet Union in Afghanistan..Russia in Chechnya...India in Kashmir...Israel in Palestine...Syria in Lebanon...and Iraq in Kuwait all put their citizens at risk for complicity in war crimes. U.S. actions in Vietnam, Nicaragua, Afghanistan, and Iraq, among other places, have put Americans at similar risk....
Where national and international institutions fail to halt such crimes, it is the responsibility of the people to do so. "Affirmative measures" to halt war crimes are now a moral and even a legal obligation for all Americans...

Bush Didn't Bungle Iraq, You Fools

...Big Oil -- and their buck-buddies, the Saudis -- don't make money from pumping more oil, but from pumping LESS of it. The lower the supply, the higher the price...The oil industry is run by a cartel, OPEC, and what economists call an "oligopoly" -- a tiny handful of operators who make more money when there's less oil, not more of it. So, every time the "insurgents" blow up a pipeline in Basra, every time Mad Mahmoud in Tehran threatens to cut supply, the price of oil leaps. And Dick and George just LOVE it. ...The top oily-gopolists, the five largest oil companies, pulled in $113 billion in profit in 2005 - compared to a piddly $34 billion in 2002 before Operation Iraqi Liberation. In other words, it's been a good war for Big Oil...
