I think the crimes originated with Milosevic. Through his arrogance and poor decisions, he brought international force to bear on his country. He had options to behave in a more civilized manner, which would have spared many lives. He chose poorly and his nation suffered the consequences of his barbaric leadership.
So, who is going to make the USA pay for the "arrogance and poor judgement" of GW Bush and his band of war criminals?
Presently. Once the Russians take over the eastern areas, they will begin. Russians are among the most brutal people on earth.
To this day my Father in Law gives thanks that he was captured by the British at the end of WW2 and not the Russians or AMERICANS. Over 100,000 German POWs died because of the treatment they endured at the hands of Americans. Kept out in the open with no shelter, very little food and what there was of a poor quality, no medical services or treatments and in short, just like a large herd of animals. How dare you talk about the brutality of others. The USA has the blood of millions on it's collective head. How many civilians did you kill needlessly in Vietnam and Iraq? How many died as a direct result of American RWNJ policies in Central and South America? Clean up your own act and then you may have a little credibility to talk about others.

LOL, do you feel better now?
You and your Father in Law need to read up on War crimes during WW2 at the hands of the British.... oh yeah, AND Canadians, who served at the pleasure of and to preserve the greatest oppressive and murderous imperial force since Ghengis Khan --- the British Empire.

If you read your history you would know that the British Empire was largely a trading Empire, that Britain was a Naval Power which kept a small army by comparison to other countries and that many countries benefited from new international trade. The British introducing mass tea plantations in India, Rubber production to Malaysia and numerous other such commodities, whilst helping to modernise countries with railways, ports, communications and new production methods. Britain was also one of the first nations to ban the slave trade and the Royal Navy even policed the seas to ensure the Spanish and others weren't engaging in such practices.
As a note of just how popular Empire was, we still have a close relationship with many Commonwealth Countries and the Commonwealth Games will be held later this year in Glasgow.
As for wars at the time of much of our Imperialist expansion, it involved sailing ships, cannons and muskets and not missiles, drones, fighter aircraft, agent orange, napalm and other facets of modern warfare which the US has engaged in since WW2, and lets also not forget the mass genocide committed by Hitler, Stalin or Mao. If anything many facets of the British Empire were very popular, which is why we still have cordial relations with many Ex countries of Empire.
