I always get a kick out of "crimes against humanity" type trials. Joseph Stalin killed over 20,000,000 of his own people. Mao killed perhaps as many as 30,000,000 of his own people. The arrival of the Europeans in North America killed perhaps as many as 80,000,000 people; albeit not intentionally until a bit later when the efforts began to wipe out the "Native Americans". Religious wars have killed over 300,000,000 people.
Has no one figured out that the most dangerous predator on the planet is Man?
No point in any of such trials anyway.
Not going to change and such trials have yet to serve as any sort of deterrent.
Crimes Against Humanity are defined by the victors and are based in Ex Post Facto laws.
