I mean, I know it's The Star and everything, but...
International justice has long been tempered by politics. After World War II, it was easy to convict leading Nazis of waging illegal war. It has proved more difficult to indict former U.S. president George W. Bush for the same crime.
In 2001, Serbian leader Slobodan Milosevic was properly brought before a special United Nations tribunal to face justice for his role in the Yugoslav mayhem. But those NATO leaders (including Canada’s Jean Chrétien), who without UN authorization made illegal war on Serbia, were not.
Is Walkom comparing Bush to Hitler and U.S. actions in Iraq to German actions during World War II? And is he comparing NATO action in the former Yugoslavia to Serbian actions in the 1990s? Is he kidding me? Even by Star standards, this is ridiculous and ignorant.
