Killings Jews is OK, killing Muslims ain't!!

Der Speigel, a well known supporter of American policy has weighed in on the bin Laden killing.

Was Bin Laden's Killing Legal?

US President Barack Obama gets precious few opportunities to announce a victory. So it's no wonder he chose grand words on Sunday night as the TV crews' spotlights shone upon him and he informed the nation about the deadly strike against Osama bin Laden. "Justice has been done," he said.

It may be that this sentence comes back to haunt him in the years to come. What is just about killing a feared terrorist in his home in the middle of Pakistan? For the families of the victims of the 9/11 attacks, and for patriotic Americans who saw their grand nation challenged by a band of criminals, the answer might be simple. But international law experts, who have been grappling with the question of the legal status of the US-led war on terror for years, find Obama's pithy words on Sunday night more problematic.

But Obama and his predecessor Bush never sought the kind of justice that would have seen bin Laden tried in an international court. As early as his election campaign in 2008, Obama swore he would "kill bin Laden" and finish the job begun by his predecessor after 9/11. "We went to war against al-Qaida to protect our citizens, our friends and our allies," the president explained on Sunday night. A US national security official didn't beat around the bush, telling Reuters, "This was a kill operation." And why shouldn't it be? The very goal of war is the defeat of the opponent, the killing of enemies through legal means. War is war.

In truth, it isn't quite that simple. And not everything that the United States declares to be war really is. Legal experts like Kress say it is "questionable whether the USA can still claim to be engaged in an armed conflict with al-Qaida."

The entire idea of a 'World Court' is plain old stupid to me. It won't work, it hasn't worked and anyone who thinks it will or can work, is either ignorant, or is a German legal expert.
.
BTW, where were these 'experts' after the family of Rabbi Fogel was murdered? Did they call for the international court to bring justice to the perpetrators in the name of the survivors? Not that I ever heard.
.
I am sick to death of dual standards. And given the fact that parts of Europe are under Sharia and not local law, you'd THINK this legal expert would get it!! Here's hoping that the Muslims don't do for Germany what the Nazis did.
.
But given the chance, we know they would.
