Great Britain Says The Term "War Crime" Needs to Be Redefined

Perhaps I'm reading too much - or too little - into the comments of the British Foreign Office Minister Kim Howells when he says "war crimes" need to be redefined in light of the war on Lebanon and Hezbollah mounted by Israel this summer. But note that he seems to see anything Hezbollah did as bad yet won't even breathe a hint that Israel might have even accidentally done anything wrong at all (that 40% of the death were young children and about 20-30% more the sick and the old is just an inconvenient piece of trivia apparently).
