You were there? No? You watched the taped proceedings then?

I don't think you appreciate the way justice becomes irrelevant in fascist and tyrannical countries.

The 'show' of fair justice, dispensed with care and deliberation, is something you seem to take for granted.

In most countries you get put up against a wall, and shot, for saying the wrong things about the right people.

I find your argument uniquely cowardly: Power without justice is a recipe for tyranny. And the position that tyranny should be the norm is something an evil or cowardly person espouses.

Yes, there is plenty of atrocity. Pretending the allied behavior is as atrocious as Stalin, Mao, Mussolini, or Hitler, is pretentious relativism.
