I'm disappointed that our own countries have so many ghosts able to come back to haunt us, but this really doesn't change who is in the wrong and who needs to be stopped in this instance.
I agree, and it hurts me that there is no force of legal and moral integrity left in this world that I could get behind.
We messed up. We let this happen, and we have to make this right somehow.
Thing is... time is running out, and many people are not even there yet.

I tend to look at it this way; we could all go back through recent and ancient history to sling mud about who is and was right or wrong at any given time, but this doesn't solve anything.

Should we have not gone to war to stop Hitler because Britain had an Imperialist past? If Russia invaded Poland tomorrow, should we all just say "well, the US did invade Iraq"?

I think we agree that although previous actions by our own countries leave us with a bitter taste in our mouths, we know when something is blatantly wrong, and I think most probably agree that there are some times when we should act, regardless of being discredited by past actions.
