Of course, number of deaths in those 2 wars are just incomparable. But still they 2 have something in common, both are wars. So, both are war criminals. There are other differences as well, aside from scale. One war isn't the same as the other war. And saying that because something is war and something else is war, both are therefor war criminals is fundamentally denying the massive differences between both conflicts. |

Did you see "because" somewhere there? Not "war criminals" because of wars. But if both wars, and if both criminals, both should be treated as such. And scale at some point doesn't matter. Scale between 1 year of prison and 5 years of proson is matter, but scale between 10k years and 200 years means mostly the same - whole life prison. That's the main point, not to precisely describe all differencies (as you started to do?) and so on. With all differencies there are quite simple similarities - crime should be punished. Next question - was crime or not (war criminal or not) - seems like UN conclusion - yes, war criminal. Then title of thread, not? Or you think "only" few thousands deaths caused by absolutely dishonest reasons deserves only lack of vacations and money penalty? Against what you object in particular? |

Best greetings to the all monitoring NSA operatives, too! I don't have to worry about those guys. They think I am just an old retired fat guy who thinks too much, and shoots his mouth off even more. They'll never find me! |

In some degree whole world allowed it, other countries did not object strongly enough to be honest... But nevertheless degree is different, quite different in this case. There are who actively convinced others to start war, who made all that war happened, and others who not resisted those enough. First are war criminals and should be punished. Second should make right conclusions from that. |
