Hypocritical Europeans

Fox News reports the discovery of a mass grave in northern Iraq. Americans are working with the Iraqi Special Tribunal to develop evidence for trials against Sadaam and others from his regime.

The Europeans refuse to help.

He said that because of limited funds and resources, his team can excavate only one mass grave at a time. European teams who worked on Bosnian mass graves are not helping because of their concerns that Saddam could face the death penalty, he said.

These are the people John Kerry wants us to have alliances with!

I can't think of much that is more despicable than refusing to assist in obtaining justice for the longsuffering Iraqis because of politics. Europeans should be ashamed of themselves. Americans should reject the European position and point out their hypocrisy.

"Unlike bodies that you've seen in many mass graves — they look like cordwood — all lined up," he said. "That didn't happen here. These bodies were just pushed in."

He said excavators found the body of a mother still clutching her baby. The infant was shot in the back of the head and the mother in the face.

Kehoe said that most mass graves in Bosnia largely contain men of fighting age. Graves near Hatra included many women and children, he said.

"Genocide is the attempt to eliminate, limit or exterminate a religious, ethnic, national or racial group," he said. "The Kurds are clearly a different nationality. So could it be considered genocide? It could be. Killing, ethnic cleansing, property relocations, all of those were used to try to limit the Kurdish population. What it is fundamentally is downright murder."

Yet this man is not worthy of the death penalty? Assisting in unearthing and cataloging his crimes is something you refuse to do because of politics?

There's no way I can describe the level of disgust I feel right now for Europe's elites and politicians.
