War Crimes

It appears more and more that war crimes and atrocities have been committed in Iraq by some soldiers. Of course, we need to wait for the outcome of the investigations, but it is highly likely that that's the case based on what we know now.

This war was based on false intelligence and likely misrepresentation of the facts. This makes even more horrifying reading about war crimes, even when committed by a small group of soldiers. This war should had never been started. Hundreds of thousands of people would be alive today. There was absolutely no reason to go to war and anyone who thinks rationally can see that now.
