. . . If American servicemen & veterans are not
happy about the Nuremberg Charter, let them think & argue _why_. Are
they not happy _only_ when it might apply to them -- a case of
_special pleasing_+? Or do they have the courage to say that
"Victor's Justice" is bunk?
Your logic is impeccable but leads to an untenable
endpoint: the male working class (ages 45-60, approx)
is a criminal class by the law you cite.
Is our political position that x million U.S. vets
must be prosecuted for war crimes? If not, what
portion of the prosecution of Nazis was inappropriate?
Victor's justice sure does simplify things.
