    Well, Simon Wiesenthal made his life's ambition to prosecute all war criminals. I cannot think of anyone who would have disagreed with this, and, rightfully, many war criminals were convicted, even though they were in their eighties or nineties, whereas they committed their offences at a prim young age, of say 20! The people of Northern Ireland want justice! Similar war crimes were committed by the Parachute Regiment in the 1970's on Irish soil. In retrospect, to send the Parachute regiment, was a wrong political decision. Unfortunately, the commanders have since died, and cannot be tried anymore! The bottom line is that war criminals should be prosecuted!

        While this really is a Soapbox topic, I'll address this here. If the people of Northern Ireland want justice then the people of Northern Ireland should be happy with that being applied equally which would mean that the blanket amnesty that members of organisations like the PIRA, UDF, etc received, should be removed as well. What you're talking about here isn't justice, it's revenge. Oh, and if you're going to prosecute the soldiers, make sure you prosecute the politicians who sent them in with guidelines on how to operate. Oh wait, they aren't going to be prosecuted either?

            Nope. There should be statutes of limitations.

            Social Media - A platform that makes it easier for the crazies to find each other. Everyone is born right handed. Only the strongest overcome it. Fight for left-handed rights and hand equality.

              Just to keep things rational, I'll add the rationale behind the points you bring up. Soldiers have one job: kill the enemy. That's all they're trained for. If the self-proclaimed "soldiers" of the factions involved failed to understand that they had pushed their self-proclaimed "war" to the point where they weren't just dealing with roly-poly policemen on bicycles any more, then who is to blame if real soldiers simply did their job? There are two things you can do with this discussion: 0. Take it to the soapbox 1. Take it anywhere other than CP It's got piss-all to do with "those who code".
