- simonmd 10y agoWe would be ok with granting amnesty to lower level FARC scientists, but the Hitlers, Eichmanns, Goebbelses, Goerings, Heydrichs, Himmlers, Hoesses and Mengeles of the FARC must see some jail time.
- ekianjo 10y ago> Plenty of Nazi scientists and war criminals were given amnesty in the US Let me remind you that ALL the Allies war criminals were also basically given amnesty everywhere, just because they were victors. if you think that's fair, well that's your call.
- ghostly_s 10y agoYou're alluding to the atomic bombings? Sorry, honestly not familiar with this argument.
- makomk 10y agoTorture, rape, mass executions of civilians and prisoners of war, the usual.
- yabatopia 10y agoThe atomic bombings are the most prominent examples, but there were also the horrible. 'conventional' bombings of German cities like Dresden.
- ekianjo 10y agoAnd fire bombing of most of Japan, knowing very well that they would torch hundred of thousands of civilians including women and children. And the ongoing killing of prisoners who surrendered (a US army speciality in the Pacific, no prisoners, just kill them all)
