Norman Solomon - War Crimes & War Criminals

Program Title: Norman Solomon - War Crimes & War Criminals
Description: At the end of World War Two, the victorious Allies decided to try leading officials of the Nazi regime as war criminals. A tribunal was convened in Nuremberg. Some of the top Nazis were hanged and others were given jail sentences. Today, Nuremberg is largely forgotten. The clear evidence of that was the March 2003 U.S. invasion of Iraq, an unambiguous war crime committed by war criminals, not just George W. Bush but Cheney, Wolfowitz, Rice, et al. Those responsible for the Iraq War have never answered for the chaos and massive bloodshed and dislocation that followed not just in Iraq but in neighboring Syria as well. The rise of ISIS, the massacre of Yazidis and sectarian violence can be directly traced to what Bush and his cohorts did. Will he and the others involved be held to account? Hardly, the former president has taken up painting in his retirement.
