Entry: The Rise of the Post-paleos (a second look) Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/the_rise_of_the_post_paleos_a_second_look#30752 Post contents: Mr. Roach asks "Since when is an invasion a `war crime?'" Well, that was one of the "crimes" with which the Nuremberg defendants were charged - "conspiracy to wage aggressive war." I say that not to suggest that Bush and company should likewise face such charges for the Iraq war - I think people like Paul Craig Roberts are just hyperbolic in their rhetoric in making statements like that - but to argue that it's simply impossible to decide, from a supposedly legal perspective, what makes a war one of "aggression," and thus a "war crime."
