The justification the United State is using for killing civilians in Sadr City is rather unfortunate. It is clear than any group of persons, Americans included, who are attacked in their homes are going to use whatever means to defend themselves. And don’t tell me that the local population is being used as human shields. The defenders and the frightened non-combatants just happen to be in the same location.
There is a possible solution to this problem: allow the fighting to take place in the Green zone.
The United States will get away with atrocities such as this because all war crime “tribunal” or “courts” are set up by the good old USA. George W. Bush should really be put on trial for the death of little Ali Hussein and may others like him.

Yes he should be but won’t for the reasons you state.
I nominate any prosperous American city you care to mention, preferably one with a lot of irreplacable histrcal and cultural landmarks, for the fighting.
As to the trial why not take your idea yet further? The American government nominally headed by Bush have spent so much money on the Iraki “justice” system that it makes sense for them to be tried on our soil, using our laws, and our penalties if they are found guilty.

[…] Ali Hussein, age 2, was killed by American bombing of Sadr City. Reportedly, Ali may have been a civilian. (source) […]

Too right Haleema, and seeing the fight brought to their front doors may not be completely out of the cards, blowback being what it is by definition.
As for a trial, well, having a group of thugs putting a noose around Cheneys neck yelling “Muqtada, Muqtada, Muqtada” just before pulling the lever would be a cell phone video worth viewing indeed! Justice, in the truest sense of the word. Hanged by the very monsters they helped create.

Unfortunately, “Ol’ G Dubbya” won’t be put on trial for anything. If the President can sign documentation allowing for “hard line” interrogation. As well as revoke the fourth amendment “That the people shall have a free and unfettered press.” And not be impeached, (then after impeachment proceedings not be removed from office)But Clinton can for getting a blow-job. But get voted in for a second term shows how much power we the American people have lost to the Electoral College as well as how suckered we are by Corporate America.
