Oh I'm sorry, what is required to pass your approval test?
Quote: Durham Giant "You talk about a moral compass and try to lecture me on the morality of war and military tactics to differentiate between military targets and terrorism ion your last post. And then for some reason WW2 does not come into it.
Once the logic of your arguments is undermined you try to move the goalposts. You should read yopur posts back.'"
Because each conflict is different. The causes behind each conflict are different. The reasons for each action are different. As time passes the standards of the age change and what is deemed acceptable in conflict change. Your comparisons are pointless and a sign of weakness that you can't stick to the issue we're discussing, you feel the need to bring up historical events in some vain attempt to back yourself up.

The BBC article was reporting from a study of the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, titled "Sanctions and childhood mortality in Iraq", that was published in the May 2000 Lancet medical journal.[49] The study concluded that in southern and central Iraq, infant mortality rate between 1994 and 1999 had risen to 108 per 1,000. Child mortality rate, which refers to children between the age of one and five years, also drastically inclined from 56 to 131 per 1,000.[48] In the autonomous northern region during the same period, infant mortality declined from 64 to 59 per 1000 and under-5 mortality fell from 80 to 72 per 1000, which was attributed to better food and resource allocation.
Those sanctions were led by Britain and the US and enforced by them therefore they have to accept the responsibility for the outcome of those actions. |But if it makes you feel better and morally superior to Republicans most of them were not directly killed by military action by the Brits, they were just slowly starved to death or denied medication or medical treatment. They even stopped antibiotics and innoculation so kids died of relatively minor infections and preventable diseases.
Maybe they were just trying to terrorise the Iraqi people by punishing them all for the actions of saddam.
You do not need to go far to find many other examples of British actions or inactions that killed millions of children you could always type in Concentration camps in SA, Bengal famine, Tasmanian aborigines etc etc.'"
Right, so where does it state "the British killed a million children". Yes, a international political effort may have increased child mortality in some areas of Iraq and yes, we do have to accept some responsibility for that.
I'm just surprised you've not brought up the potato famine yet.
