(91,937 posts)our media share the blame for perpetuating that lie when they knew otherwise
However, most of us here at DU were against what we did in Iraq, and implying, as Jill Stein and others are doing, that we have no right to criticize what is happening in Ukraine because of what we did in Iraq is a false flag. One does not justify the other.
They both were wrong, but bringing this into the situation occurring now in Ukraine, does not do anything to help Ukraine, and only provides cover for Russian aggression against Ukraine, because it serves as a distraction.

(13,037 posts)My intent was to question if the ICC can do anything to hold Russia or Putin accountable ???
I don't think they can.
I wanted Bush and his administration held accountable and they were not.
We have every right to criticize what is happening in Ukraine.
It sickens me.
You would have to be insane to side with Russia.

(91,937 posts)regarding war, even like the Warsaw Convention is almost an oxymoron
War is itself is a crime

(267,791 posts)There have been no consequences for wiping out nearly one million Iraqis and destroying, hospitals, schools, universities, communities and indeed communications towers.
Both invasions were/are illegal but those with power get away with murder
