so what ? they still can be made responsible for their genocidal tendencies. I am extremely reluctant to try to impose or coerce reparations for actions committed hundreds or thousands of years ago. Those who committed the actions are gone, the victims of the actions are also gone. Perhaps there should be some sort of statute of limitations on these things. If you go back to medieval times then everyone had ancestors or predecessors that were both victims and victimizers. I live in Virginia. Virginia allowed slavery before the civil war. Should I have to pay taxes to pay for reparations to the decendents of slave owners? Should Mongolia have to pay reparations to the decendents of the victems of Gengiz and Kublai? Tim
