I don't think you can perpetrate war crimes with defensive weapons, with air defense systems.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
If you shell a military base and happen to kill civilians, you have not committed a war crime; if you deliberately target cities and towns, you have.
Military commanders do not want to be tried for war crimes, even if those crimes are committed online.
In order to prosecute war, you have to take some risk.
The concept of war crimes is an American invention.
I think that NATO is itself a war criminal.
It is a rule of international law that weapons and methods of warfare which do not discriminate between combatants and civilians should never be used.
I am not a 'defender' of the September 11 attacks, but simply pointing out that if U.S. foreign policy results in massive death and destruction abroad, we cannot feign innocence when some of that destruction is returned.
If we are going to be serious about enforcing the law, we have to have a background record check system to make sure that people don't get weapons who shouldn't.
Air warfare is a shot through the brain, not a hacking to pieces of the enemy's body.
Never think that war, no matter how necessary, nor how justified, is not a crime.
