Inconsistent to 'hope and pray' that troops sent for illegal reasons would prevail. I mean that is the implication of 'war crimes' no?
It is my belief that our troops have been sent into harm's way under false pretenses. IF this war continues to slip into carnage and chaos, the aftermath of that deception - I hope - will be seen by the world community as criminal. Much like the foot soldiers of any army whose leaders have been charged with war crimes after the extent of their criminal activities became clear to the world were not charged with them, our troops are not guilty of any crimes. They are doing the job that their national leaders sent them to do and I hope they all come home alive.... and I hope that they can somehow establish this multicultural jeffersonian democracy they were sent over to establish..... I just do not intellectually believe that it will happen. And IF it doesn't happen, and IF the situation deteriorates into untold carnage and chaos, then I firmly believe that the world ought to put the leaders who mislead us and started this whole bloody mess on trial for war crimes.
Did that sufficiently explain how I can emotionally hope and pray for the safety and success of our troops while simultaneously thinking that IF the carnage and chaos continues to spiral out of control, that Bush & Co. ought to be held to account for it?
