Things I ponder
Isn't it strange:
No major Confederate politician or soldier (except the Andersonville commandant, possibly?) was executed for armed rebellion?
No Russian or Chinese was tried for genocide or crimes against humanity?
No Japanese was tried for the genocide at Shanghai, or enforced prostitution of thousands of Koreans and Chinese?
No Belgian was ever tried for heinous crimes against the people of Congo?
It's dandy to bust up Czechoslovakia, the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia, but an absolute no-no allow an independent Kurdistan.
Iran and North Korea can't have nuclear weapons, but Israel, Pakistan and India can. (For that matter, that anyone can -- even the one state that actually used them.)
Very telling about the sacredness of international law and the institution of "states". Control . . . control . . . control.
