Do We Owe Iraq War Reparations?
Isn't that a sanction that the UN could levy on us for bush starting a war of aggression? The country
is a mess because of the actions bush took. Germany got socked after WWI - pretty much bankrupted
the country.

I assume the USA would veto such a sanction, but I also believe that there's a way to call
a Genral Assembly where the USA wouldn't have an absolute veto. Anybody know?

...sent an impeached Bush to be tried and imprisoned for his war crimes there. The chimp has done something I thought no male hominid would ever do, loath a person pretending to be POTUS with every fiber of my being.

He is not just not my president, he is my avowed blood enemy.

5. Not in this case,
since the Commander in Chief was not elected by the people of this country, the costs of reparation should come from those who disregarded the laws of our country by installing him.

If our country cannot prove the election is valid, We the People are not financially beholden to said law breakers IMHO.
