(62,325 posts)Surely they have been held accountable for their crimes?
Did you know that a child was tortured in Abu Ghraib?
Any Democracy who lectures others on Human Rights issues must surely have dealt with their own war criminals before lecturing the world on the issue?
'Two wrongs make a right'.
Well, nothing can make atrocities of such mammoth proportions RIGHT for the victims. People were tortured to DEATH. Women were raped, children sodomized. Nothing can make that RIGHT.
But there is some small comfort when justice is done for the victims, and for a nation in whose name these atrocities were committed.
But what if a nation refuses to hold its war criminals responsible? What if its War Criminals appear on its national media as respected 'experts' on Foreign Policy?
What would you say about such a nation?
If it wasn't our own?
