Prosecuting the Past
You know that poor German accountant, who is found guilty of working for the Nazi regime, I felt a little bad for that guy.
I just wonder, does the range of accountability extend to Corporations, Governments and so on.
How do you stem the flow of a group think, such as what encompassed Germany, when you would have been shunned or killed?
I've been listening to points of view, that Hitler didn't have the ability to change the whole German population psyche.
That reasoning is that, the German people, must have already had that underlying thought process, and that the charismatic leader, Hitler, just plugged into that energy.
You see it happen all the time throughout history.
So, to arrest a person for an action, like that poor accountant, there seems to be a lot of picking and choosing of a country's &/or individual's actions.
If you're going to scrutinise the actions of people in retrospect, then you should wear the same glasses.
I'd like to see those who bombed other countries under false pretenses also held to account.
Especially, before they reach 90+ years old.

That line of reasoning means that the pilot of the Enola Gay should be arrested as an accomplice for mass murder - along with all who made the atomic bombs.
The reality is that all wars are banker wars. War is utterly obscene.
