46. I agree with your first sentence but...
Edited on Sat Mar-28-09 03:47 AM by LeftishBrit
the idea that a nation should be treated on an official level as a 'rogue nation' because some of its citizens/ soldiers are accused murderers is a risky one. First of all, accusations need to be proved before treating a country as a 'rogue nation' (as before treating an individual as a convicted criminal). Secondly, this risks discriminating against nations that have whistleblowers over those that are better at enforcing cover-ups, and thus tempting nations to crush and punish whistleblowers.
