76. How do you define the "success"
of a War Crime?. Change the strategy?

Even with the sanctions after Bush 1 bombings the Iraqi people got everything up and running in 3 months.
This notion that the invaders even have smidgen of legitimacy is at the least paternalistic , at worst it's....

What do the Iraqi people want? That's the real question not how any political maneuvering re:Iraq will make a candidate over here "look" weak. That's a real "we are the indispensable nation" way of looking at this that shows a disregard for what the people who live in that land want.

Self-Determination is a natural right. The entire way this issue is framed here is from a colonial mindset.
A poltical game of strategy being played with peoples lives. Is that what this is about?
