The war against Iraq is a crime. I don't mean that metaphorically-- it is an ongoing crime against humanity, a war crime. The first responsibility any criminal has to his victim is to stop committing the crime. Restitution can come afterward, as can punishment, but the crime must cease as quickly as possible-- that is the first obligation to every victim, whether an individual or a nation. The U.S. presence in Iraq is a crime against peace. The first step toward justice is to withdraw as quickly as possible.
