Only problem with this is that the Axis of Weasel and thier allies will prbably try to drag this before the ICC (War Crime to destroy a place of worship).

I've heard a good explanation on this before as a result of collateral damage done to hospitals, etc. -- the side that uses these types of civilian structures as a type of military installation (or puts installations nearby civilian areas) is the side guilty of the war crimes.

That used to be true, but not according to the Rome Statutes . . .
