Mideast is exploding

When national leaders initiate hostilities they create the conditions, the extreme use of force coupled with limited liability, for the war crimes that invariably follow.

The migrant crisis in Europe and the Middle East is exploding. Four million civilians have perished since 1990 in wars across the region. World leaders are guilty of genocide. Their political rage became entangled with a moral crusade, and the results were disastrous. It is encouraging to now that others in the world are doing what they can to apprehend war criminals, and there are no statues of limitations on war crimes. When national leaders initiate hostilities they create the conditions, the extreme use of force coupled with limited liability, for the war crimes that invariably follow. The suffering caused and the enmity aroused by war crimes must be regarded as costs of war.
