589229 Herman: 'Balance' Sickness at The Nation

Steve Shalom: Milosevic Indictment
May 29, 1999

Following World War II, a war crimes tribunal was held in Tokyo to try Japanese political and military leaders. There is no doubt that the defendants were responsible for appalling atrocities, but, as the Indian judge on the tribunal wrote in his dissenting opinion, the victorious allies had themselves committed grave crimes, and the U.S. atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were the most horrific war crimes of the Pacific War. But only the atrocities committed by the Japanese were punished. In short, the war crimes trial represented "victors' justice."

Znet Administrator: The Restive Allies

Clarence_lusane Lusane: Jailhouse Knocks
