As far as "war crimes" are concerned, I think that's the biggest and stupidest oxymoron that our culture holds. If you're in war, you're already breaking the biggest laws of nature that could possibly exist, and as far as I'm concerned, fighting in a war of aggression is a crime. Period.
For instance, this whole Abu Ghraig thing? A symptom of war itself. Find me a war where no "war crimes" were committed, and I'll eat my hippy sandals with some vegan hot sauce.
Where are these laws of nature published? And since when has nature been a pacifist? What about a carnivores? They attack in an act of aggression, yet they aren't breaking Nature's laws.
No, they attack in hunger. Without eating those animals not only would they starve to death, destroying the food web, but if they didn't, the prey would overpopulate, destroying the food web. The laws are actually published everywehre you look in nature. They are written down in some books by some very intelligent authors, but they don't need to be if you pay attention to the way nature works. The biggest of this group of authors is Daniel Quinn. He lists the law of life as having the following three tenets:
1.) Do not deny your prey of its food
2.) Do not destroy your competition
3.) Do not make war
Of course, these laws are sometimes broken by species. After all, it's not as though they KNOW of these laws. However, there is a very decisive punishment for breaking these laws: extinction. You don't have to believe it, but watch what happens to us if we do this for another hundred years or so.
The law of life is all around us in nature, and our culture has gone to great lengths not only to break these laws, but to make it a systematic certainty that these laws go unnoticed! We as a culture and as a species must re-learn these laws before it is too late.
