woolley Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 We're already seeing the rise of the next big thing. If you're referring to the Islamic world, no we're not. Far too splintered, divided and internally hostile. True, but it can make a hell of a mess while infighting while the silly buggers in the West insist on importing it.

woolley Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Of course, the major "crime" in war is to lose. To the victors the spoils - and the retribution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chinahand Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Maybe, Woolley. When it comes to the big world powers you're right- but all sides have been subject to trial in the Former Yugoslavia, whether Serbian, Croat, or Bosniac. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woolley Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 I understand that, China. You are correct. Because there were bigger boys around to dispense justice. Different story when those with the power to do so become the perpetrators of the crime. Then only the losers are accountable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Different story when those with the power to do so become the perpetrators of the crime. Then only the losers are accountable. Yes. Ever since 911 it's been as if the whole world has been involved in a "Top Trumps" wave of war crimes where every world leader is trying to out do his peers in terms of the escalation of events which lead to other peoples' deaths. Wars, bombings, terror, even disappearing aeroplanes. They just keep on upping the ante to see who can walk away with the prize for being the worlds biggest war on terror criminal.
