In his mind, does Obama dismiss
internationally highly regarded MIT professor, Noam Chomsky's recently
reiterated prescient warning that "Every US President since WW II, if
they had brought to trial under the Nuremberg Principles set of laws and
convicted, could have been hung? "
This writer imagines a somewhat older Ex-President Obama one day telling a judge and jury "I had no choice." [but to keep murdering all those men, women and children in nearly a half-dozen nations for more than a decade] "We were attacked on 9/11."
... And the prosecutor answering, 'But while you illegally ordered the mass destruction of human beings in so many other nations, you knew the 9/11 suicide attack was carried out and funded by citizens of a US ally, Saudi Arabia, which you never ordered bombed.'
All Americans, who have participated in cruel and inhuman US wars in nations still suffering impoverishment from more than a century of conquest, exploitation and plundering by the investment bank run empires of Europe and America, take heed. There is a now a campaign titled Prosecute US Crimes Against Humanity Now that features, following the examples of peoples historian Howard Zinn and Martin Luther King Jr., an educational country-by-country history of US crimes. click here
If the
world superpower of the moment can prosecute other leaders of
governments for crimes, like it did Slobodan Milosevic and its own
wayward agents, Manuel Noriega and Saddam Hussein, and if an ally like
Spain can arrest and extradite US darling Gen. Augusto Pinochet,
ex-dictator of Chile, it should not be inconceivable that the world
suffering US wars for its Wall Street investments for more than six
decades, will one day prosecute US leaders, if for no other reason, for
some measure of compensation and restitution.
When such prosecution happens, all adult American citizens will feel the condemnation in the eyes of the citizens of the many nations invaded, bombed and otherwise attacked over more than a half century. For as the demonstrators indictment of ordinary servicemen and personnel of the drone base in New York would seem to indicate, it takes the collaboration of the whole nation to be able to make war on so many many countries over a period of more than a half century.
