An illegal war.

Remember the Nuremberg trials?

I agree, it's illegal. The Geneva conventions sets out rules for war, so saying "It's war" doesn't really apply

However, history repeats itself takes into account that someone's got to come get the people in charge from the US, which I don't really see happening.

And that's exactly why you should follow the laws of war...

Then why did we prosecute the Nazis for war-crimes in Nuremburg? Why are we prosecuting Serbian Nationalists and former Baathists for war-crimes as we speak?

Either the rules of engagement are universal or there are no rules at all. How could the Pentagon possibly argue that international human rights conventions should be followed by enemy combatants when they're not willing to follow those same conventions themselves?

Same reason we are prosecuting Saddam Hussein. We want to show the world that there are laws to be followed and if they are broken then 'justice' will prevail.

Well, you are refering to the strongest nation in the world. It can do what it wants because it has the resources possible for that. And there are no other nations who come close to being the power that the US is.

If you can tell me a war where there wasn't crimes against humanity than please name that war.
