on the contrary, wars are not fought for legitimate reasons, aka iraq, therefore any civillian death thas has ever come from that war, should be accounted for and classified as a crime
Ill have to disagree with you on that one. Some wars i think you could argue are illegitimate, however most wars, you could make a fair point in support of their purpose.

what was the reason for iraq? no wmd were found? they called saddam a tyrant ect etc, but who funded and backed him to attack iran? justification for 90% of the US wars cannot be made. simple, name 1 that can be justified. taking down the taliban and al queda, we coud discuss for every on this issue, so many sources reveal that they are saudi or US made tools of distraction, they have been armed by the US, and the US is fighting them..?
Well, the man did have chemical weapons, there is no doubt about that. About Iran, thats kind of a seperate issue, but Iran did overthrow the shah and did take americans hostage. Granted Khamanei being anti west, not surprisingly would do that, but obviously its going to get on the US's bad side. The shah and saddam hussein were anti communist. During the cold war in which russia was running around stomping other nations into the ground, the US very much supported anti communist regimes. So the question is, who do you fear more? the Soviets in the 70s? or Saddam? the Soviets? or the Shah? Later in history Saddam invaded kuwait and shot scuds into Saudi. Both Kuwait and Saudi being allies of the US puts Saddam on the bad list. Saddam was willing to take all the power for himself, even at the expense of obstructing and destroying the allies of the US.
And, in my personal opinion, the "war on terror" does bring to light the issues of extremism in certain areas. Al Queda, as im sure you agree, deliberately harms the innocent, which normally realistically wouldnt be a problem, but the issue is they target the west as well.

"Last time i checked the news, incidents of torture are occuring daily, have you not seen the countless videos and stories of US soliders killing civilians for fun? its all over the news, the famous incident where the sick twisted soldier fired upon those group of unarmed men, and he was enjoying it. justify that."
Lets look for the latest Iraqi bombing. Lets see who is responsible.
http://www.nytimes.c...=bombing&st=cse
perhaps you have a more recent one.
"BAGHDAD — A suicide bomber mounted a devastating attack in one of the largest Sunni mosques in Baghdad on Sunday, killing at least 28 people, including a member of Parliament, and wounding dozens more, according to security officials. "
This is not the US, this is an anti govt religious nut, who no offense, but could very well be a shia considering the location of the attack. The person has killed a member of the Iraqi Parliament. And so you see, this is the current state of Iraq, and this is what is currently going on. This occurred just last week.

i didnt say there were fighting iraqi troops, but once again i can easily say who is responsible for the creation of the taliban and its funding? all leading back to US, so therefore they are to blame for these deaths. and another thing, lets just say if the taliban hadnt ever targetted civilians in the name of their sick ideology, would the US still have a reason to war against them?
Ah ok, thats good then that you recognize that there is fighting going on beyond what the US is doing. Who is responsible for the creation of the taliban?
Well, lets see. The soviets had implanted a socialist anti islamic government in place. Thats like killing two birds with one stone. Theyre anti Islamic, which is why the majority of afghans were against their govt and the same reason there were so many homeland rebellions at the time. And like wise, their government was communist and supported Soviet expansionism. If the soviets ultimately won, of course afghanistan itself would have ultimtely been conquered. The mujahideen were the liberation force, so its fairly easy to see why the US supported their cause.
ultimately though, the taliban are the people of afghanistan, fighting for their own freedoms. The US did not create them, they create themselves and they simply receive support from the US. The US cant simply "create" anything in that part of the world, not without the support of the people themselves. Hopefully in time they will cool down.
