that those hung at Nuremberg were tried and hung for " waging an aggressive war " and that no1 was ever tried for genocide until the early 90's. I want to know if this was the exact terminology used at Nuremberg and if it was how does this terminology relate to the current conflict post Invasion/Liberation/Colonization, (whatever you want to call it of Iraq)
Is there any other kind of War than aggressive?

I Vote, cheers for the answer but that definitely wasn't the book.
If I remember right the 4 indictments at Nuremberg were
Participation in a common plan or conspiracy for the accomplishment of crime against peace
Planning, initiating and waging wars of aggression and other crimes against peace
War crimes
Crimes against humanity
I may have some of the wording slightly off as I'm working off memory and realize that that may affect the legitimacy of my question. I'm fairly sure though that uit was the second charge that resulted in the most indictments....

All wars should be aggressive. Maybe that is why we are sending more troops & in a firefight today 250-300 Iraqi terrorist soldiers were killed & the US lost 3 soldiers.
The name was "The Crime of Waging an Aggressive War" by Robert Jackson. He picked one charge to write about.
They were not hung for waging an aggressive war but it was one of many charges that they were convicted of. They were also convicted of millions of deaths too.

Nuremberg, With heindsight what do you think...Heres were I get another ban....I don't give a Sh*t, Look at or world today look at tommorow look at Nuclear devastation, War it's coming and we will all be DEAD, but who cares the N*zi party they did.
Nuremberg was a farce.....Try reading Miem Kampt if it isn't banned and think about what Hitler says he saw the future that's why it needed to change......If you are thinking "I'm a ******** " then fine but watch your back as some nice east european wants your wallet and he don't give a sh*t if he has to kill you for it....

War of attrition. Keeping supplies from your 'enemy'.

I believe this term relates to the bombing and murder of civilians, and not military targets.
