bsim17 Any example used to "prove" an argument referring to genocide fails. I referred to tobacco companies as a small example how profits sometimes become more important than the life of people. Comparing oranges and apples. If you really study the cases, you will encounter more similarities than you might expect. "The Germans(any) that participated in the systematic murder of a whole group of people, no matter how small the part period, are and will always be to blame; and that country and her people must carry that weight forever as they should" bsim17. I partially disagree with you. The country should not be blamed. The Germans as a nationality should not be blamed. We should fully blame the people who participated. And the mechanisms that created this "monster" should be known and fought against. The easy way is to say "the Germans" the difficult way is to say "these humans" killed systematicly other people. The Dutch. Only three years after WW2 they were on duty in Indonesia. During so called "police operations" they wiped out complete villages. Men, women and children. They were the enemy. They had to be killed. The Dutch. The Golden Age, now known by its paintings, partly had its base in the trade of people. Slaves. People to buy and sell. Ships full from Africa to the West. During the years '20 and '30 it was still common view that some races where better than others. Not only in Germany. I lived some time in the Ukraine. In 1923 Stalin killed 13 million Ukranians by taking away their food. One of the most fertile grounds in the world. Soldiers took away the harvest. Half a country died. No much written about it. I went to an exposition and it makes you really thinking. In 1994 I had the pleasure to meet somebody from South Africa. He urged me to read the book of Rian Malan. "My Traitors Heart" amazon.com Read this book. 10 dollars and a week of good reading. Evil is human, not German or White. Let's talk again, my friend. Pareto
