And feel free to juxtapose Mussolini, Alexander the Great, Stalin, Idi Amin, Castro etc, etc. What actually is your point? It surely cannot be equating dictatorships to democracy? Or can it? |
My point is even if you re on good side - you re responsible for what are you doing. Even siiting in jail for 1 day is just formality it will make some justice. This Lady is supposed to be blind, I think.
Allies leader werent saint. Bombing of Dresden was completly usseless from military point of view. It was revenge. Hiroshima is still in the debates. But we sent to death row a lot of people with different number of victims.
Russian soldiers( not all of couse) did a lot of rape, stealing and killing during the occupation of Germany 1945/46. But only Russians experienced occupation of Germans. They did to Germans what Germans did to Russians. We can understand it. But does it make their actions better?
PS "It surely cannot be equating dictatorships to democracy? Or can it?" Read Aristotle on it. Its contradictionary. Democracy can be same cruel as worst dictatorship. Or you really think that majority is always right? Especially uneducated majority. Stalin Constitution 1936 or Brezhnev's 1977 were very democratic. Do they work? NO. End of story
I just against the point that there is only 1 right way of democracy
