Tao Stoic 149

"I have been studying the Nuremberg trials again, Master, in order to understand."

"You'll understand of course that it was just the Way of the victors over the vanquished, Vae Victis. It was therefore a farce."

"Was it really Master?"

"Certainly it was. Why was not Stalin in the docks? Before Hitler began, Stalin had already killed more than ten million of his own people. And where was the Japanese Emperor? Besides the French where there."

"I do not understand."

"Is it not in France (still) that Napoleon is revered, his tomb still necessitates a decent man to lift his hat, and that for a dirtier bastard than Hitler even. I must object against capital punishment, for obvious reasons, but I would be greatly in favour of a proper-, Mondial-, criminal court. Then there could have been the cases of 'The People versus Idi Amin, Khadaffi, Khomeini' and so on. We as yet, have not progressed towards a good and humane World-Clean-Up in all these decades. A sorry State of affairs."
