Do I or any of YOU doubt that War crimes happened duing EVERY WAR that Americans EVER fought?
I surely don't.[/FONT]
I have no doubts, war is another form of accepted and state sanctioned murder.
As to your question why the outrage is limited to this war, it's certainly not. However, too many people have false pre-conceptions about the Civil War, Abraham Lincoln, the "moral north," and the "evil south."
Well, I think the preconceptions come about just because the north was abolishing slavery and the south wanted to continue it... and Slavery = Evil. Regardless of the motives or actions, wouldn't you say that's the key things that shapes the perception?
As for War Crimes... well, yeah, isn't that basically a given? I've no doubt either that the North committed war crimes, but jeez, the South had SLAVES!! Both sides probably committed some gross attrocities. But, really, is there ANY war we can find in which there weren't any War Crimes? I mean, all the way back in history.
So... uh... yeah, what's the point? aioshdpaosdihdpo
