First, Bush is the president of US, not the president of the world.
Second, you have no right to bomb any country if they didn't bomb you.

We dont slaughter innocents. Except maybe the insurgents. But we dont go killing hundreds in a single attack to intentional provoke outrage among their own people that would start a civil war. We dont go ramming cars into markets, mosques and hospitals in the name of Allah. Do you see America doing such a thing in the name of 72 virgins? Nor do you see us launching chemical attacks on civilians like Saddam did back in the 80s. You say we slaughter innocent people like Saddam, I say I dont see the resemblance.

Are you sure? I remember brits getting caught with bombs and wearing clothing similar to "insurgents".
So i wouldn´t be surprised at all if it would come to attention that usa/uk have caused atleast some of the attacks.
And surprisingly, the vote day was peacefull. Hmm..weird. And the bombs are usually directed at civilians, which just doesn´t make any sense if you are fighting for your countrys freedom, why would you like to bomb your fellow citizens, even if they help the attacker nation.
.and about killing innocent people..just checkout what happened in fallujah. That was a chemical attack on innocent people.

Your country admitted use of white phosphorous?
And yes saddam was a bad man, but if you allways correlate to him you are just proving that you are on the same line. This is not a competition who has gassed more civilians.It´s your country in line, not mine. So if you want to be in iraq and face the shait what will follow, so be it. I´m just scared that you pull rest of the world with you.

And the use of white phosphorous is illegal? Tell me where it says in the print about the use of WP as illegal like nerve gas. WP can be use as smoke canisters as well by the Marines, but you have no concern for their safety as well, do you? Not to mention the military say it lights up the night, not a very good weapon against civilians, we have a large arsenal of chemicals that can do a better job than WP on civilians. Of course we dont use it on civilians anyways.

ok..first you say you didn´t do it.
Now you admit it and say it isn´t illegal.
Was i saying it was? If i have correctly understood your weird usage of geneve laws.
You arent under any of them because the insurgent aren´t a national army? Am i correct?
There is smoke which doesn´t melt people, try using that next time. But if you want, just keep on using napalm and wp, like other countries could do something about it if you yourselves cannot?
Enought about wp, your country can use it. It can use napalm also, torture prisoners if they arent inside usa, use uranium shells, start illegal wars with lied proofs, do i really need to say more?
Just for sake of my sanity, my country would consider everything above as illegal and punishable by geneve treaties.

Yeah, its a taste of their own medicine against the Japanese for what they did. But then not many people are talking about it. And also there was no law back then for use of nukes. We just thought it was just a bigger bomb.
Where in my post says we didnt do it?
You said that, I didnt. Read my post more carefully.
In the Geneva convention, they dont have to be a national army, its game that we can kill them.
You tell that to the Marines who use WP to cover themselves from hostile fire.
Our country used it, but what can you do? Its not illegal. Same for napalm. Its horrible, but then in warfare why should it not be. Napalm aint illegal as well. Its almost like you comparing these as worse as nukes.

really understand that one. Maybe it´s my bad english.
Yup..nothing i can do about it. You are only country who has used nukes against humans. In my books wp and nukes are as equally horrible way to die. Burn or melt? .. You just made the same points that i did.
