This was the reason that the US agreed to leave Iraq. There were numerous crimes committed by US servicemen and contractors which they had agreed could not be tried by Iraqi courts under the status of forces agreement and they no longer wanted to do this. The US never likes to leave military justice up to local courts.
Obama could have added all US Military to the Diplomatic rolls. Making them immune from prosecution. Problem solved.
Or, he could have negotiated that away.. as his own SecDef said he could have. Obama had no interest in keeping US troops in Iraq and this exchange from 2008 proves it. http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/20... "Obama questioned “whether al Qaeda in Iraq presented a threat to th “If AQI has morphed into a kind of mafia then they are not going to be blowing up buildings.”
Petraeus pointed to an attempted attack in Glasgow, Scotland, in 2007, as an example of AQI’s reach and expressed concern about “the potential of AQI to expand its influence to Syria and Lebanon.” Obama was unmoved. “The al Qaeda leadership is not here in Iraq.
They are there,” Obama said, pointing to Pakistan on a map. It was an instructive exchange. Obama, a first-term senator with no experience in military or intelligence matters, challenged the general who had beaten back a jihadist insurgency in Iraq, led a remarkable turnaround in the country, and was a leading figure in America’s broader war on terror.
The assessments Petraeus offered were based on years of personal experience guiding U.S. troops against jihadist armies generally, and Al Qaeda in Iraq specifically, and they were bolstered by mountains of intelligence reporting on the enemy, its objectives, and its practices. Obama simply thought he knew better. His challenge wasn’t based on facts that contradicted Petraeus, or on facts at all.
Rather, Obama made a series of assertions based on nothing more than his long-held conviction that Iraq was a distraction from the war on terror. And when he was presented with evidence that contradicted his thesis, Obama simply set it aside and restated his own view. It’s a pattern that would play out repeatedly throughout his presidency.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
