<Two wrongs do not make a right> Agree completely. I'm just pointing out that there were two wrongs. The Nurenburg Trials were the right thing to do, and the _______ (enter banned word here) got what they deserved. But we should start listening, when the people we accuse of war crimes respond: tu quoque. Sometimes, they are right. ---------------- At the beginning of the war, I was a follower of Ghandi, morally opposed to all violence. After year of war I retreated and said, "Unfortunately it seems bombing is necessary to win the war, but I am morally opposed to bombing cities indiscriminately." When I arrived at Bomber Command and discovered we were bombing cities indiscriminately, I said "This is morally justified as it's helping win the war." A year later I said, "Our bombing is not helping win the war, but at least I'm helping save the lives of bomber crews." In the last spring of the war I had no excuses and had no moral position left. valourandhorror.com JS@didthatflyunderfl'sradar?.com
