In the complete video, the actress had egged on the Police Officer with 'do it again', taunting him to shove her again. She fell. After a friend arrived to 'help' her, she got up and walked away, unharmed. The end seen in the video is a bit later.
They are war criminals. Every reasonable person knows that this war might have been a straightforward unprovoked war of aggression agasint a nation that had done nothing to threaten us in any way, and that the participation of any soldier could be tantamount to a war crime. Soldiers are only obliged to obey "lawful commands", and a soldier is thereby burdened with the personal responsibility to judge for himself whether a command is lawful. Nobody doubts that US participation in this war is in a gray area, and therefore every participant must bear personal responsibility for the death of every civilian and non-combatant in the theater of operations that was carried out under an unlawful command. Any soldier, in any war, who engages in lethal fire at the risk of civilians, without looking inside his own conscience, is a war criminal.
Every member of the US forces had the opportunity to do the courageous thing, and stand up and say I will not kill these people under these circustances. Or they could do the cowardly thing, and mindlessly obey orders that violate human decency for sure, and internatinal law maybe. This is not Bush's war. It is the war of foolish and cowrdly men and women who blindly followed Bush's insane megalomania, and it they who must live with it and answer for it.
Ask yourself, which is the courgeous thing to do: Stand up and be right and honest and moral, and go to prison for your convictions? Or line up innocent civilans against a wall and mow them down because you are told to. Given that command, which would you do?

Speak only for yourself, please. I'm pretty sure that your position doesn't represent all 300,000,000 people in this country, plus the 6,200,000,000 other people in the world.

Of course not. Half of those 300,000,000 voted for Bush twice. What does that say about them? And reading posts on this board, it is obvious that a very large number of people do not recognize ANY gray areas ANYwhere.
Of those 300,000,000 people, how many would mindlessly obey a command to kill an innocent civilian, and how many would say "Wait a minute, lemme think about this"?
i understand that theyre just doing their job, but when theres massacres and harrassment it is where the bad feelings come out in the public
