[QUOTE="Chrisling, post: 435833, member: 6816"] <b>Jasper,</b> Actually, some of my sources are the same as your sources. When I get to someplace I can look at my books I'll tell you my sources, tho'. You did catch me in a factual error. I <i>should</i> have said that de Rais didn't start killing kids until after he'd left the war. What I learned is that most people who study the life of de Rais believe that when he was fighting battles he used the atrocity of war to sate whatever it was inside of him that demanded blood sacrifices, tho'. I'll get the stuff for ya. <b>Celebrim,</b> I know the answer to this! :D You treat criminals like criminals. In the real world, I support the formation of criminal courts with global reach and sufficient police powers to deal with genocidal thugs. The scenario you're talking about, with one country invading another to stop atrocities in the first country, isn't akin to the situation of, in my eyes, of the police stopping a criminal. One country invading another country to stop a criminal is like <i>me</i> breaking into my neighbors house to stop a crime. Which is vigilantism and a lousy way to solve things, as we know from our own national experience, provoking as it does feuds and recriminations. One country unilaterally deciding that the situation in another country is illegal and invading it is simply vigilantism on a vast scale. A police action designed to bring the perpetrators of crimes to justice is something I support -- tho' I admit the difference between a police action to arrest a criminal and a war might seem sketchy but the difference is the same between a vigilante movement and real law enforcement. Shark's gonna get his own letter. :D [/QUOTE]
