If torture is a war crime, and it is, what does one call the mass slaughter of a million
Iraqis, driving 1/5 of the of the surviving population from their homes, destroying the health, safety and sanitations infrastructure of a whole country?

And what do we call those who gave the thumbs up of approval, and applauded through much of the carnage, and what do we call those who still scream for more blood?

2. My feeble attempts to answer.

Mere words are too feeble to be even halfway useful, but:

1. Genocide.
2. Cowards.
3. Monsters.

3. According to those who have power, I think it's referred to as...
...the cost of doing business...

4. Sadly, that is indeed the best answer.
Or just "business as usual."
