  The Avalon Project - Laws of War : Rights and Duties of Neutral Powers and Persons in Case of War on Land (Hague V); ...
Belligerents are forbidden to move troops or convoys of either munitions of war or supplies across the territory of a neutral Power.

 Lalor, Cyclopaedia of Political Science, V.2, Entry 171, INDEMNITY IN CASE OF WAR: Library of Economics and Liberty
The acts attributed to the military authority of the country may have taken place during peace; in that case there is reason for an indemnity, regulated in France, for instance, according to the law of eminent domain (May 3, 1841).
In time of war, when the enemy is still at a certain distance and preparations are made to meet him, the decree of Aug. 10, 1853, article 38, admits rather a limited right to indemnity.
The state desired or allowed the war, and as the damage is the natural or inevitable result thereof, there is nothing unforeseen in it.

 The Law of War in the War on Terror - 9/11 - Global Policy Forum
Under such "war rules," unlike during peacetime, an enemy combatant can be shot without warning (unless he or she is incapacitated, in custody, or trying to surrender), regardless of any imminent threat.
Even in the case of war, another factor in deciding whether law-enforcement or war rules should be applied is the nature of a given suspect's involvement.
War rules should be used in such cases only when no law-enforcement system exists (and the other conditions of war are present), not when the rule of law happens to produce inconvenient results.

 War
War is a phenomenon which occurs only between political communities, defined as those entities which either are states or intend to become states (in order to allow for civil war).
Clausewitz famously suggested that war is “the continuation of policy by other means.” Surely, as a description, this conception is both powerful and plausible: war is about governance, using violence instead of peaceful measures to resolve policy (which organizes life in a land).
Referring specifically to war, realists believe that it is an inevitable part of an anarchical world system; that it ought to be resorted to only if it makes sense in terms of national self-interest; and that, once war has begun, a state ought to do whatever it can to win.

Support the active war crimes cases against Bush and his helpers for the illegal and criminal invasion and occupation of Iraq through letters to your Congress members, letters to the editor in newspapers and the like.
The cases that have been prosecuted so far appear to comprise a small number of scapegoats and sacrificial lambs deemed necessary by the Bush administration to offer as palliatives to the outraged and to prevent charges from climbing up the ladder of responsibility all the way to the White House.
Cases can be brought against Bush and every involved member of administration right up to the day they die; and this should happen, particularly in view of Karl Rove's statement about how history will view the Bush presidency.

Lord of War doesn't work as a tragedy or as a comedy, especially since Niccol fills the soundtrack with glib, obvious songs that editorialize on the action (he actually puts Eric Clapton's "Cocaine" on when Vitaly starts his habit).

As for Nicolas Cage, whose name is on the film as a producer, he probably lied to himself as much as Yuri does, telling himself he was making an important film shedding light on the global cycle of violence.
