Fwd: New Offensive in Afghanistan: U.S. Poised to Commit War Crimes?

[Steven Moyer]

What's going on?  Why aren't we hearing more about Afghanistan?  Why are we there?  What's the mission? This is a bad way to conduct an occupation!  I'm sincere!  Think about it.  If you are occupying another country with the intention of "pacifying" it, what should you do?

How about filling the needs of the people first?

The people need justice.  That means sending people who torture to prison.  ALWAYS!

The U.S. must join the I.C.C.

Do it now!

Steve Moyer

      New Offensive in Afghanistan: U.S. Poised to Commit War Crimes?

ROBERT NAIMAN, nai...@justforeignpolicy.org, http://www.JustForeignPolicy.org
  Naiman is policy director of Just Foreign Policy. He just wrote the piece "U.S. Poised to Commit War Crimes in Marjah," which states: "The United States and NATO are poised to launch a major assault in the Marjah district in southern Afghanistan. Tens of thousands of Afghan civilians are in imminent peril. Will President Obama and Congress act to protect civilians in Marjah, in compliance with the obligations of the United States under the laws of war?" http://www.huffingtonpost.com/robert-naiman/us-poised-to-commit-war-c_b_459937.html
