Default Re: Does \"ordering actions which result in the deaths of innocent Iraq

[ QUOTE ]

Do you believe any of America's presidents during WW2 should have been tried and put to death?

[/ QUOTE ]

Like I say I don't think anyone should be hung but here are your options.

1. Don't punish Saddam

2. Punish all people who give orders that they know will cause the deaths of innocent people.

3. Admit that that isn't the real reason you are killing Saddam.

4. Admit that you're a hypocrite.

5. Come up with a credible actual tangible difference between those innocents who died because of Saddam and those who died because of, for example Churchill or Roosevelt.

Should any of us planners or anyone involved in ordering the builiding of the bridge require the death penalty?

If you built the bridge knowing full well that innocent people would die then yes you are responsible.
