Similarly Bush chose to employ trigger-happy private contractors.<br /><br />There are now several processes against US soldiers who deliberately killed innocent Iraqi citizens. Only God knows about how many we will never know.<br /><br />There has never been found any plan for genocide and specially in Kosovo and Croatia with about 10,000 victims each who died in many different places and circumstances this looks extremely unlikely and more a side product of the use of militias (who employed many hooligans and criminals).Wim Roffelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05950733237377413606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17149992.post-71754268835273052422010-12-13T18:34:15.365+01:002010-12-13T18:34:15.365+01:00"Unfortunately cynical politicians are rather..."Unfortunately cynical politicians are rather common and when I heard for example Bush carelessly talk about civilian deaths in Iraq it was hard to tell the difference."<br /><br />Big difference.
