Nice to see that thanks to Ghaddafi's army, people are rediscovering the standards of Nuremberg. [View All]

Suddenly we are discussing here on DU the obligation to disobey illegal orders, and pointing out that the people who were blown away by NATO airstrikes had it coming because they remained loyal to the chain of command, and should rather have stood down.

Ok then, I suppose everyone who didn't lay down arms and refuse to obey, when Bush gave the illegal order to invade Iraq, is guilty of crimes against humanity and crimes against peace, and certainly had coming what came to them.

Correct, or is there a flaw in this simple logic that I am missing? Or are we going to declare that we believe in a double standard?
