You forgot the "criminalizing" of the Khmer Rouge "leadership."

I'm sure you feel bad for the Taliban, whose "leadership" was an inspiration for anti-imperialists everywhere. And we know how you feel about the great Serb patriot and his armed forces, another life-affirming example of civilized behavior.

Another great argument Carrol. Keep it coming.
