The buck stops . . . where?

63 years after the end of WW II, people still debate the degree of culpability of the "average German citizen" for the horrors perpetrated by their leaders.

In the years ahead, will we so judged, as well? Will it require an international tribunal to try our war criminals, because we lack the moral fortitude to do it ourselves?

Of course "We just want to put the whole thing behind us." So did the good citizens of Germany after the War. Should we be allowed to do so? NO!

Lack of credibility

I'm so glad that Mr. Williams has made friends; I don't even mind him believing they are credible. Shouldn't his viewers be allowed to judge credibility for themselves by having all the known facts reported? Among the many victims of Shrub n' Thugs 8 years of Anti-American rule is a credible media.

Quoting Marvin Gaye; "Believe half of what you see, and none of what you hear."
