Further thoughts...

On last night's movie.

Or better yet further questions.

In a post war world, who's responsibility was it to apprehend, try and carry out sentencing on war criminals?

If it was the Allies, we did a fairly piss poor job. And before anyone argues, I have two words: Simon Wiesenthal.

That being said, fast forward three generations and we have another situation that is similar... Post Saddam Iraq. And a post Taliban Afghanistan. I'm not denying crimes against humanity perpetrated within the boundaries of both countries by the deposed regimes, but who goes after them?

If the answer for the WW2 question was ALLIES, then we have a post war responsibility to these two nations that no one is pondering as we leave a Tasmanian Devil sized dust storm in the region in our hurry to exit.

Thoughts?
