Humanity is fortunate that at some point nations agreed on some minimal recognition of war crimes.
Maybe I should say WAS fortunate, because as we move forward, it is clear most war criminals are not to be held accountable.
In particular, it is now clear that America can commit these crimes with impunity.
When we have lost this very small restraint on what is allowed in war, we are truly in trouble.
