(from John Campea)

The United States and Great Britain are now admitting they violated the international rules of war convention adopted by the United Nations by using the banned weapons known as “cluster bombs”. US officials claimed that although they did use the weapons, they were NOT used in areas that had civilian populations. Contrary to that statement, dozens of dud American cluster shells have been found scattered around Baghdad by CNN and other American news correspondents.

The hypocrisy of this whole sorted affair astounds me. “We’re going to attack you because you have banned weapons. Don’t mind us as we use banned weapons ourselves to attack you with!”.

“We’re going to attack you because you have chemical weapons! I know the inspectors didn’t find any, and we can’t find them either, but we know you HAD them because WE’RE THE ONES WHO GAVE THEM TO YOU IN THE FIRST PLACE”

“We’re going to attack you because you have Weapons of Mass Destruction. Don’t pay any attention to the fact that we currently have 10,215 fully operational Nuclear warheads.”

Look, I’m honestly not trying to reopen the war debate. If you agreed with the war or not, you have to admit that as a westerner our hypocrisy is a little embarrassing… even if the war was just.
