Generally speaking, genocide does not necessarily mean the immediate destruction of a nation, except when accomplished by mass killings of all members of a nation. It is intended rather to signify a coordinated plan of different actions aiming at the destruction of essential foundations of the life of national groups, with the aim of annihilating the groups themselves. The objectives of such a plan would be the disintegration of the political and social institutions, of culture, language, national feelings, religion, and the economic existence of national groups, and the destruction of the personal security, liberty, health, dignity, and even the lives of the individuals belonging to such groups.
I do. This has nothing to do with terrorism. If you want to look at the big picture, then you need to discuss terrorism as warfare conducted by those who are technologically disadvantaged. And it is also defined by the victor. Either way, one should not be able to walk away from war crimes.

This reply is shortsighted. I supposed you condone terrorism then, right? Because most of those terrorist were created when their family was innocently murdered by western bombs. Does anyone not think in the big picture?

How many women, children, handicapped, mentally challenged, etc did Truman incinerate at Hiroshima and Nagasaki? I'd wager much more than 61. It was war. Are we going to castigate that president?
Always someone.. You guys always bring that up but never mention Pearl Harbor
But it is totally irrelevant because you are comparing it to an act of war , and what the Nazis did to the jews was not an act of war it was genocide..

I thought there was some rule on this site about defending Nazis.

Such hypocrisy , hes only a criminal because he wasnt of any scientific or intelligence use to the US after the war. If he had been then he would have been pardoned and brought in through operation paperclip.

NO!
If he did what is claimed he should be pulled and tried. I don't care if he's in a nursing home.
The people who committed these crimes were not just shooting enemy combatants. They hauled off women, children and old people to be used, starved and executed if they didn't die on their own.
You can't just give someone a pass because it happened 'x' number of decades ago.
Look at the pictures of what was done to these people. Then think of your grandmother and baby sister.
It's one thing to forgive someone who accidentally killed someone 30 years ago. Then became a model citizen and true humanitarian.
It's another to use human skin as a lamp shade.
I will give no quarter to these inhumane people. You shouldn't either.
