War is Killing

here's another breaking story...

"The U.S. military has cleared a Marine who shot three unarmed insurgents in a mosque at the height of fighting in Fallujah, Iraq, in November."

All this tells me is that the US military takes the position that when a country sends its citizens someplace with guns, it's ok to use those guns to kill people, for pretty much whatever reason.

If you ask me, it's a good reason to point blank call all wars illegal, so then we won't have to have these sham trials, and put a country's citizens in such a position. To me it would have been much more sane to have George Bush fight Saddam Hussein man-to-man in a ring, unless they agreed to work it out some other way. Not to mention such a strategy would save trillions of dollars that could be spent more productively.
