I explained why it was BS in my previous post.
1) You are are trying to use the bad behavior of one person/group to justify the bad behavior of another person/group. I don't think it's okay for
any country to prevent its military personnel or even regular citizens from being tried for
legitimate crimes committed in other countries except in cases where it's obvious that the defendant can't get a fair trial.
2) There's a very real possibility that this
wasn't "friendly fire". If the war crimes report is accurate - Hey, have you read it yet? - there may have been violations of some very valid laws. And if the attack was intentional, could it be considered an act of war?
