			<description><![CDATA[‘Flouting’ as he says: or, in only slightly plainer language, the USA is in violation of International Law. Outlawry is not a blessed condition, & the US has spoken vigorously against it when some other nation so indulged itself. In this matter as in so many others, the USA clings to its ethnocentric & infantile exceptionalism, driving itself out of the family of nations. Reform; or global disaster.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[This article leaves out the international drift in politics. Bin Laden declared the US the enemy, after US troops defiled sacred Mecca, the US responded by declaring terrorism the enemy leaving out blowing up Cuban planes, attacking Iranian scientists and at first Pakistanis angry over Kashmir, who from time to time attack India. But then Afghan President Karzai decided to build a lot of trade between India and Afghanistan until hotels in Kabul where two Indian businessmen were staying were attacked, declared that the Haqqani Network were terrorists and is drifting toward deciding that all Muslims who hate India over Kashmir are terrorists. A massive increase in arms to India would be a disruptive as the Drone attacks. Actually I am quite scared, see, http://readersupportednews.org/pm-section/21-21/12051-a-tragedy-in-the-making-unless-hawks-and-doves-work-together]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[This article is way to timid. Blue Pilgrim is right -- these are just bunny rabbits talking. The whole GWOT from start to finish is a war crime and a crime against humanity. It has mostly targeted civilians, children, and women because there were never any armies to fight. These are wars for control of natural resources. The people who live in these nations must be terrorized into submission. This is where international law fails. Nations can indict the leader of a small country, but they cannot indict anyone from the imperialists capitals in the US and Europe. And yet global empire is the real problem in the world. Assad and Syria are just resisting an invasion by the empire. Obama, Bush, Cheney, and all the rest of the officials of the US imperial regime are guilty of crimes that rise to the level of Hitler. Will we live through this period without any real charges against them. We all know Hitler and the Nazis for criminals but will we recognize our own criminal regime in Washington (and its subsidiary in Tel Aviv).]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[A few days ago I signed a petition urging the Nobel committee to award a Nobel Peace Prize to Brad Manning. That seems like a far more effective strategy than pressuring them to rescind Obama's prize. The entire world was so full of hope when Obama was elected. The Nobel committee were hardly the only people to be deceived. I voted for Obama, contributed money, and volunteered for him. A lot of us did, and in good faith. And I had thought that I was too experienced and savvy to be fooled again. Imagine what a powerful statement it would be if Bradley Manning were awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. It may be one of the few concrete things that we can do to help him.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Good. Now let's put this on the web as a petition for everyone to sign and send to the ignoble "Nobel Prize Committee". This nobel committee might take a notice, or at least a wink, if millions of this message showed up and crashed their servers. Or maybe Anonymous can let the Nobel committee know what we think of them by taking out their communications and website for awhile? Now that would get the committee's attention. Millions of others like us would take notice then.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Dear Nobel Peace Prize Committee Please consider rescinding the 2009 Nobel Peace Laureate Award given to Barack Obama of the United States. He had done nothing to earn this award at the time, used the occasion of the Award presentation ceremony to deliver a speech justifying military violence as a way of asserting national authority, and then boosted the use of murderous drone aircraft as weapons of terror, leading to many deaths of noncombatants in the Middle East. His actions have degraded the value of the award and the hypocrisy of letting him keep it, in view of his subsequent actions, makes it imperative that it be rescinded. Otherwise, future recipients may view the award as a license to engage in the similar heinous sanguinary activity. Letting Mr. Obama keep his award is to make the Nobel Peace Prize Committee an accessory to war crimes.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA["When people read about 900 people being killed in a Syrian village what does that tell you about the government there?" It tells me the empire's press is lying their teeth off again, like they did with Iraq and Libya, making up stuff to 'manufacture consent' for yet another war, on it's way to Iran. Try reading globalresearch. ca or informationclea ringhouse.info or getting some news from RT (russiatoday) to get some facts instead of just ore propaganda.]]></description>

We love America too much to want to see her turn into an oppressor of the earth and a blight on humanity? Don't you?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Write or email the Nobel Committee. You can find their email address on the web. I did. Tell them what you think of their empowering a vicious war criminal - OBAMA - with the Peace Prize! I deserve it more than that as...ole. And so do you. I told them they should all resign. OBAMA JO MAMA is the baby boy yes guy for our war machine, a horrible coward who did not refuse to accept the Nobel Prize due to his overweening hubris. If OBAMA had any integrity, he would have refused to accept it, knowing he was undeserving. And that reward destroyed the credibility of the Nobel Peace Prize for billions of us forever. HUBRIS collapses all Imperial regimes and terrorist governments in the end.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA["Something that is being debated in UN hallways and committee rooms cannot apparently be talked about in US courtrooms, according to the government." It's being discussed in newspapers and on television based on "officials" in our government. Calling it classified definitely is "an absurd fiction."]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[wow, first the adoring world give the "ONE" a Nobel PEACE Prize and now they are saying he may be a war criminal. Maybe the Nobel committee should take back the prize. But if they do that I am sure the "ONE" would just put them on his secret kill list and launch a killer drone after all those terrorist in Norway and Sweden. ROFLMAO]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[every single fascist terrorist regime has eventually collapsed over the millenia, whether from within or without, or with both populations willing to die for freedom and peace. amerika is now being gutted and will implode like all of them. at that time, as it creeps upon all of us, the resistance will take shape, because no other option will exist by then, fight or die lying down, which will you choose? right, once cornered and attacked, very few of us will love our enemies and allow ourselves to be killed without fighting back. very few of us rank with Jesus or Buddha in manifesting love for our enemies, when push comes to shove. it'll happen, someday, and then it'll be the worst atrocities ever committed against innocent citizens by the most vicious powerful fascist regime on Earth. we have a renegade regime, and Australia like every other country will regret not stopping our terrorist police actions worldwide because you are next on the list if you don't sell out to the usa. remember, these are not "legal wars", but terrorist actions waged without the vote of the amerikan people. the wars are only washing machines for laundering my tax money into the makers of weapons of mass destruction. war is good for only 1 thing: making those of the War Machine who wage it richer, including our generals.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[You gotta admit the UN is especially impotent in everything it does. Look at the current Syria situation, whatever the UN says makes not one bit of difference. They sit on the sidelines and wring their hands - and its because they have nothing to worry about themselves. The stirring up and beginning to drain the swamp of the Middle East, along with Pakistan, Afghanistan, Syria, and Iran is a tough dirty job, but necessary. When people read about 900 people being killed in a Syrian village what does that tell you about the government there? Please someone instead of, or in addition to voting my comment down, someone please explain how my so-called Liberal-Progres sive peers to me seem so stuck in the impossibility of taking action against some of the ugliest most brutal regimes in the world?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[*Heyns suggested some may even constitute "war crimes...* What a remarkably bold statement for a bunny rabbit to make. They are all war crimes, of course. The whole shebang is war crimes -- aggressive war, the ultimate war crime. I'm waiting for all of them to end up burning in Hell and remarking "It seems a little warm in here. Should we open a new window, open a new door?" (As Auntie Maim might say.) It's past time to call all of this what is -- name the demon, as we read through the Book of the Dead on our travels in the underworld -- believe our own lying eyes instead of playing absurd word games and living in denial -- because regardless of the games, the reality will eat us all alive if we let this continue.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Please someone, somewhere like the UN Comission for Human Rights, or ACLU or ? indict dubya and obama for Crimes Against Humanity and War Crimes. Already 6 nations have issued War Crimes indictments against dubya. dubya can no longer travel to Switzerland or Malaysia for this reason of risking arrest there and being held in prison for trial or shipped like the bag of s...t they are to The Hague's War Crimes Tribunal to stand trial. Obama just paid off Spain not to indict dubya only a few months ago. This amerika is breaking international law, The Geneva Convention, waging Crimes Against Humanity worldwide and even assassinations of our own citizens worldwide. Obama is directly choosing who to murder with drones. Amerika's fascist terrorist regime has invaded and broken Pakistan's sovereignty just to assassinate bin Laden, and will do so with reckless abandon here and everywhere unless the international community rises up against unlawful aggression perpetrated by our now horrible government.]]></description>
