Reply #11: War Crimes Prosecution and rule of law are trumped by the need for Unity...

[Dragonfli]

Or so I am told.

All crimes must be forgiven if this unity is to be had, our former opponents insist upon this, If we fold and hold torturers and other criminals accountable under the law, unity will be lost.

I don't know if I can bend enough to become what is expected of me now, it goes against everything I learned to believe in since civics class when I was just a child. I was told then that we are all equal under the law, such was seldom the case in my poor neighborhood so I fought against the injustice supported by my local politicians, we seldom won, but I fought nonetheless - It was for this once unbending principle that I fought.

The messages I receive now confuse me, I do not see how justice should now be so flexible as to trump the axiom that we SHOULD ALL be equal under the law.

If I try to embrace this, my head will explode.
