To initiate a war of aggression, therefore, is not only an international crime; it is the supreme international crime differing only from other war crimes in that it contains within itself the accumulated evil of the whole. - from the Nuremberg ruling
In law, a criminal offender or a tortfeasor is generally responsible for his or her own actions and the forseeable consequences that ensue.
However, a war of aggression is a special kind of crime, and the offender is responsible for all the consequences, i.e. "the accumulated evil of the whole."
The consequences of America's war of aggression against Iraq are one million dead Iraqis, two million Iraqi refugees and two million internally displaced Iraqis, with the horrifying prospects of millions more as Baghdad's water taps run dry.
My question is this: How do we compensate our victims?
