who should be responsible for war crimes?

Question

and why i need examples please

Answer 1

there should be no such things as war crimes... this is the problem today. War is war period, until people start realizing this, and allow a war to be fought how it has to be fought... you'll end up with messes like we have in Iraq

Answer 2

Anyone who dares threaten the free world and try to bring forth their views by force. Ahmadenijad would be a prime example for someone who should be accused for war crimes. He constantly says in the public eye in Iran 'Death to Israel and Jews and death to America." He wants, if not started already on a nuclear program to make nuclear weapons. Kim Jong of North Vietnam should be tried for war crimes already for testing a nuclear weapon and going against UN and America's warnings of not testing it. But instead, in the free country we argue among ourselves and overlook the Islamic extremists crossing our borders via the Mexican border with dirty bombs, we overlook the fact we did find WMDs in Iraq, 300+ cases of Saryn containers used for missiles, we overlook the fact we have not been attacked again since 9/11, unlike under Clinton's Administration where we were attacked 5 times. We do not fight wars the way they are meant to be fought, we worry about everything else except for our own safety as a country and society. We are slowly losing the country from being soft and naive, especially towards our enemy. The very enemy who wants, and has already, behead us, slit our throats in the name of Allah and their twisted version of Islam and bring forth a dictatorship of the world. War crimes? How can we consider what a war crime is nowadays when we can't even figure out how to fight a war properly and understand there will be casualities, there will be death, and there will be invasion. You cannot talk to an enemy who will strap bombs on their children and send them off to blow themselves up in the name of Allah and then proclaim how proud they are their child has done so for the 'greater good.' Funny how everyone knows what a war crime is but not what an actual war is now.

Answer 3

A war crime is the responsibility of the person who committed it, primarily. Example - My Lai massacre in Vietnam war.

But if they were ordered to do so, then everybody up the chain of command to the level those orders were issued are all responsible. Example - German concentration camps, Japanese POW camps

And even if no orders were issued, if the actions were known to be happening and nothing done to stop it, that is tacit approval. Example: Japanese "Rape of Nanking", Japanese treatment of indigenous peoples they conquered.

and to answer the weak minded person that said bush for lying.. why dont you go back and look at what clinton and gore said when running against bush in 2000.. and shortly after 9/11.. they cried like little girls because bush didnt attack iraq fast enough.. here is something else for you... if the war is so wrong.. why have the Demon-rats not pulled the troops? answer is.. they know when we leave the terriorist will come here,, also,, what was the number of attacks on the US under clinton? and what did he do about them... lets see he had meetings with monic. and thats it.. the number of attacks where
the world trade center truck bombing
2 us embassy in africa
1 us military base
the uss cole
and the attempted attack on the LA county school system
you and people like you will get more people killed,

Answer 5

The neo-conmen who were cooking up the invasion plans for Iraq and Afghanistan as far back as the 1990s.

The arch-criminal Wolfowitz and his landsmen Perle, Kristol, and Irving "Scooter" Libby should be the first ones to the scaffolds. Cheney, Rumsfeld, and Ashcroft should be tried in the Hague for their crimes against humanity.

Frankly, I don't think Bush is smart enough to be found competent to stand trial. The Neo-conmen had the plan, they had their agents in key positions, all they needed was a useful idiot to flip the switch and they found one. He can always plead insanity.

And now that the neo-con plan has exploded in their faces, where are they today? All of them, except Cheney, have donned their golden parachutes and have made their escape. What do they care, it's not their kids getting killed in Iraq.

Onward Christian Soldiers...

Answer 6

The bad guys, because they were wrong!

Example: Saddam treated his people like cra p, punishement was a hanging in Iraq.

Answer 7

The leadership is who should be held responsible for war crimes as they are the ones responsible for taking their country to war in the first place. I would say that Saddam and Hitler were held responsible for their actions and George Bush should be.

Answer 8

The perpetrators!

Answer 9

Bush and his comrades. Why? Because of their greed for oil....and because the war/s are illegal. And because he has claimed to be "The Decider." So, the buck should stop right there. Go to any search engine and query Bush/Hitler....see what you get. History. Cold hard facts. Oh, also try searching for Prescott Bush...that should scare the hell out of you.

Answer 10

Let's go with Bush for lying to Ameicans about justification for invading Iraq. Rumsfeld, Cheney, Rice, all are war criminals.
