Reply #19: Just for a hypothetical, lets say China invaded the U.S. [View All]

[Uncle Joe]

bombed, raped, tortured and held indefinitely; breaking all norms of civilized international behavior, treaty and obligation, members of your family, friends and neighbors.

Finally China changes leadership and the new attitude is, we're sorry but let's just look forward and forget about those un-pleasantries, would you be charmed?

On the other hand what if the new leaders in China pulled all the stops out to expose and prosecute their own previous leaders for imposing those policies which resulted in the unjust hurt and pain suffered by your family, friends and neighbors, would you be inflamed or would this give you a different perspective regarding a dominant nation so powerful and confident as to prosecute it's own top leaders for war crimes? Would this give you pause regarding the endless propaganda drummed in to you as to the character of this demonized nation?

I believe cold, hard, blind, justice for the leaders, promoters and legalizers of torture and war crimes here at home will only empower the moderates while marginalizing the extremists. over there and here.
