The barbaric razing of Fallujah in November (once a city of 300,000 people) and massacre of uncounted thousands of hapless trapped civilians (with poison gas, napalm, phosphorus bombs, cluster bombs and depleted uranium shells - all Geneva convention violations) was directly and deliberately modeled on the razing of Hama for maximum effect. No question that this was the worst war crime by a first world power since WWII.
The WSJ is so far out to lunch that Paul Craig Roberts, former WSJ editor (and Asst. Treasury Secty for Reagan) can't stomach it anymore.
Financial Times is a much better source of business news and opinion.

I can tell you right off napalm isnt "banned" according to the Geneva convention, and Americas use is in NO way affected by the Geneva Conventions rulings on napalm regardless of what those rulings are.

So that makes the use of napalm and other weapons, to "liberate" a city from "insurgents" fine and "dandy" does it?
America is so far up thier own ass, that they think the rules do not apply to them.
