Reader's View: Iraq War no different from Holocaust
George Bush, Dick Cheney, Joe Biden: these men were in positions of power during the Iraq War and had the power and capability of stopping the war, but they did not. They are guilty of accessory to murder or, worse yet, they are the masterminds of the mass murder known as the Iraq War.
Yet, what is going on right now: Bruno Dey, who was only a tennager when he was a concentration-camp guard for the Nazis, was convicted in a German court of 5,232 counts of accessory to murder. What would you have done if you were forced to be a Nazi concentration-camp guard as a teenager? You would have been terrified, frozen, and all alone. What would you have done? Taken your weapon and by yourself risen up against the Nazis? Dey, 95, should be left alone.
Bush, Cheney, Biden, and the rest who supported the Iraq War should be held accountable. The Iraq War was no different than the Holocaust. There was nothing the Nazis could do to acquire the freedom to kill peaceful Jews in concentration camps. And there was nothing the U.S. government could do to acquire the freedom to kill peaceful Iraqis. Declaring war upon peaceful Iraqis and then attacking them to provoke them into armed conflict cannot get you access to the freedom to kill them.
Sorry, Biden supporters, but your man is a war criminal. Bruno Dey is a saint compared to Biden.
