UN says Afghan hospital bombing may be war crime

[Oliver King]

UN rights chief says air strike on MSF hospital that killed 19 is "inexcusable" as US president extends his condolences.

I wonder was it considered as an accident, if it was committed by, for example, Russia?
I think, here would not be any "maybe".
This air-strike would have been subject to severe criticism and was considered as the beginning of aggressive military actions.
America lives by double standards, as usual.

You mean war is dangerous?

Ha, wake up peeps. The U.S. owns the UN. The U.S. isn't held accountable for War Crimes. Only others are. It is what it is.

The U.S. won't do that. The U.S.owns the UN. The U.S. is run by NWO Globalist Elites. They want a one World Government. They have no problem ceding sovereignty to the UN. Just look at what our current President has done in that regard.

It can cede power to the UN because it serves two purposes. It brings the world closer to a one World Government, and the U.S. closer to actually ruling the world. The UN is nothing more than a U.S. Puppet.

Yeah, it's hard to be optimistic. This current President has dragged us closer to that one World Government. He's ceded much of our sovereignty to Global Governing bodies. From destroying our Immigration System, to signing horrific trade deals that truly hurt American Workers. It's all by design. They want their New World Order.

Why are we there, to keep the heroin trade going I guess, which now Iran spends a billion a year to try and control, kill a country from inside out. What better way with addicted druggies.


Taliban's Ban On Poppy A Success, U.S. Aides Say

By BARBARA CROSSETTE

• 
• UNITED NATIONS, May 18— The first American narcotics experts to go to Afghanistan under Taliban rule have concluded that the movement's ban on opium-poppy cultivation appears to have wiped out the world's largest crop in less than a year, officials said today.
  
  The American findings confirm earlier reports from the United Nations drug control program that Afghanistan, which supplied about three-quarters of the world's opium and most of the heroin reaching Europe, had ended poppy planting in one season.
  
  But the eradication of poppies has come at a terrible cost to farming families, and experts say it will not be known until the fall planting season begins whether the Taliban can continue to enforce it.
  
  ''It appears that the ban has taken effect,'' said Steven Casteel, assistant administrator for intelligence at the Drug Enforcement Administration in Washington.
  
  http://www.nytimes.com/2001/05/20/world/taliban-s-ban-on-poppy-a-success-us-aides-say.html
  
  US policy regarding the eradication of poppy fields was murky and inconsistent. As the poppy fields grew, the Taliban quietly wrestled power back in large swaths of the country, but with a new perspective on drug production and smuggling. They began to view drugs—especially heroin—as a viable source of income to help finance their fight against coalition troops. According to the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, the Taliban made $155 million from the drug trade in 2009.
  
  Since the US invasion of Afghanistan, opium cultivation skyrocketed by more than 2,500 percent, despite the billions of American dollars spent to combat the trade.

Interesting point. The Taliban/Al Qaeda just about eliminated the Heroin trade in Afghanistan. Now it's booming again. So what's changed in Afghanistan? Well, i'll let people figure that out for themselves.

Russia got away with taking down a passenger airliner. Your premise is flawed.
