My son e-mailed....
I've found this:
It's from a few months back, and it's about a "Mock War Crimes Trial" for President George W. Bush.
Now, (this did come to me just now) why aren't there any mock war crimes trials for the leaders of Hezbollah in America's schools??? Isn't it a war crime to:
1) Wear Civilian Clothing while in combat?
2) Intentionally target Israeli Civilians?
3) Among many other things that they've done, and have already been mentioned around the net before.
You'd think the case for them would be a lot more open and shut....
Well, it's open-and-shut all right. It's also a war crime to use "human shields," and to place military positions in civilian areas including schools ad hospitals. And they are also in defiance of the holy United Nations...
So I'm sure our intellectuals and "peace-activists" will be firing up the ol' mock trials any day now....
Posted by John Weidner at August 29, 2006 05:12 PMDude, seriously? Mock trials ought never be the open/shut things that the case against Hesbola would be. Unless you're trying to insinuate that there's a decent case that could be made in defense of Hesbola...
Posted by: Andrew Cory at August 29, 2006 11:05 PMNo of course not. (Israel was, at least for a short while, giving them the kind of trials I think they deserve.)
Mock trials are a kind of stunt or protest. This is post merely pointing out the usual grotesque hypocrisy of leftists, who care nothing about real war crimes.
Or, since you mention it, the absurdity of an opn-and-shut mock trial, which the Bush ones were, since the "defendent" had no possibility of being found "not guilty."
