Joan's pictures make a strong case that the US did deliberately attack civilians in their illegal aggression against Yugoslavia in 1999. Of course, there is always an excuse for each picture: innocent blood flows but it is always unintentional and, in a way, necessary in achieving the noble end of American military power. Rather than attempt to catalog a lengthy list of US attacks on civilians, one war crime comes to mind that has a special level of barbarousness: The Attack on the Al Amariyah Bomb Shelter in Baghdad in February of 1991. From 350-400 innocent woman, children, and old people were incinerated by two laser-guided bombs that entered through ventilation shafts, five minutes apart. Even the US excuse for the attack would never ward off conviction, if by some miracle an indictment could be brought (As you know, there is no statute of limitations on war crimes.). That the US would never intentionally attack civilians: That is part of the Myth, the Sacred Shroud that America attempts to cloak its foreign policy within, even though US History has its hideous periods of slavery and genocide.

I agree that Clinton was abominable. But I do not want the UN's World Court to touch any US citizen. Any effort to validate the UN's authority to arrest Clinton would result in a two-step into arresting the UN's real enemies-- people like Bush, who messed up their Oil-for-Food rackateering.

"From 350-400 innocent woman, children, and old people were incinerated by two laser-guided bombs that entered through ventilation shafts, five minutes apart."

Was that the bombing that happened on the same day as Clinton's impeachment vote? There were also rumors of sending ground troops that day, as well.
