[Peace-discuss] Letter to the Editor: Lessons of World War I for Today

Wed Apr 26 14:23:58 UTC 2017

Right now I am seriously worried that Trump is going to launch a criminal and catastrophic war against North Korea that would violate the United Nations Charter, the War Powers Clause of the United States Constitution, Congress's own  War Powers Resolution of 1973 and constitute a Nuremberg Crime Against Peace in accordance with the terms of the Nuremberg Charter (1945), the Nuremberg Judgment (1946), the Nuremberg Principles (1950), and US Army Field Manual 27-10 (1956).. The Nuremberg Tribunal categorically rejected the Doctrine of Preventive Warfare when the lawyers for the Major  Nazi Leaders tried to  use it to justify their  Nazi invasion of Norway. For Trump to start  a war against North Korea would be a Nazi Act.

In my book Foundations of World Order (Duke University Press: 1999) I analyzed the history of American Foreign Policy from the Spanish American War of 1898 through the First World War and the establishment of the League of Nations. There was no good reason for the United States of America to have entered that war. All of Our Men were murdered for nothing. The same thing happened two generations later during the Vietnam War. We must cast a jaundiced eye upon all the warmongering coming  out of Washington DC and on the mainstream news media today. Otherwise history will repeat itself with yet another generation of American Men and Women murdered for nothing.
