"All of these guys, Bos, Serb, Cro, never got more than five to ten years for crimes that would have guuaranteed a haning in Nuremberg"

Ever read some of what one of the original prosecutors from the Nurenberg Trials, Walter Rockler, had to say about the NATO Bombing of Yugoslavia and the ICTY?

And there was more:

"What have we accomplished? What is this triumph? The triumph, in my judgment, is to undermine the UN Charter; destroy a substantial part of the Nuremberg judgments directed at Nazi war criminals; and reduce an imperfect international law to something more closely resembling anarchy and the use of untrammelled power.

NATO, which was originally conceived to be a defensive alliance under the umbrella of the Security Council of the U.N., has been transformed into an instrument for aggression and that is my primary thesis.

The thing that I find particularly offensive to this campaign is that I am a citizen of the United States and it's being done in my name. I object to that. I just don't have the characteristics used to describe a "good German." A "good German," for those of you who do not know what the expression means, was someone who did whatever his government told him to do."

Rockler was vehemently against the comparison of the ICTY to Nurenberg, and called the ICTY "legal anarchy".

Counterpunch is a socialist hippie site while the other site you used is opposed to every war since Korea. There are much, much better sources.

This doesn't change the fact that the UN Courts are a joke and the sentences are ludicrous.
