Exactly what I said. I mean, Japan has done some horrible things, Nankin Massacre anyone? Spain, Portugal has done horrible things over here, America itself which requires no explanations or examples (not considering it to be one "white" race), Britain massacring people in India and selling opium in China by the Queen's orders, all imperialistic evil places that have gathered a colective guilt, not realted to race.
But Rikter nailed it, Geneva Convention, war protocols, you know? Mere ethics. Those sometimes are thrown down the window, ooops, Mi Lai incident in 'Nan, oh let's just forget that shall we, pretend never happened. But it's all for a greater good, right? I mean, what is better? What is more effective? Bombing the hell out of a third world country, or keeping then poor by imposing a brutal economic policy to them?
One thing that Rikter said, that I find to be the most hilarious term, is "conscientious objector". Dosen't that imply that people who are against the war are sistematically wrong?
