No-Fault Genocide? J

[Behind the Aegis]

There is a tendency in these "politically correct" times to treat every problem as having two EQUAL sides. It's always "six of one - half-a-dozen of the other."

Perhaps it was born of the trend of "no-fault" divorce. As though EVERYTHING is always conveniently 50% one person's fault and 50% the other person's responsibility.

Now I'm not so foolish as to think that every divorce is always 100% one person in the wrong and the other side blameless. But neither is it always conveniently, exactly 50%-50%.

Imagine if they'd had the "No-Fault Divorce" principle in place at Nuremburg.

"On the one hand those Nazis did carry out genocide on 6 million Jews - but - on the other hand..."

On the other hand WHAT?

1. Nice read!

Awesome article and exactly my feelings. Somewhere the bigger picture did get lost and many articles posted in the I/P forum intentionally and disingenuously inflame the passions of an under-informed populace. Look at the reactions around DU and all the people easily buying the garbage that is sometimes spread around here. This is an excellent article that takes a step back and then elegantly illustrates where most of us are coming from.

Thanks for the post!
