(Reuters) - A decorated U.S. soldier accused of killing 16 Afghan villagers in two forays from his remote military camp was ordered to face a court martial before a military panel that could impose the death penalty if he is found guilty, the military said on Wednesday.

Hang George W Bush first for ordering and masterminding crimes against humanity in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Hang Bill Clinton and his wife for butchering thousands of innocent Serbs.
Hang the masterminds. We can go after the small fish later.

Appears to you all that when Iraqis kill Iraqis, Serbs kill Serbs, Afghan kill Afghans that is ok...but when the US is involved in these military conflicts you seek to villify them.
And we can debate the merits of US involvement in all of these countries to no avail...that is not the point. The point is the duplicitous nature parading here nakedly daily.
Now should we not also hold countless other leaders for the killing of their respective citizens, all being fair in war? Just asking.

what about Obama who is a greater, more effective evil than both of those previous ones combined? :: ::
Although they didn't go for "the masterminds", this is still good progress. War is nasty business, but people should still be held accountable for their actions. It doesn't matter what nationality they are, some core human rules are not meant to be broken.
