Pope John Paul II, a liberal democrat, often decried the violence and materialism of our times. The N.Y.Times reported that Catholic priests took part in the Rwanda atrocities, but when the Pope visited Rwanda he refused to take a stand and punish the perpetrators. In democracies talk is cheap, action cost money. So let's not bet on it. I believe that statistics, stretched as they maybe, cannot not convey the immeasurable depth of this human tragedy.
Death is death.
Suffering is suffering. The above sentence is, in my eyes, immoral. There is another aspect of the evil - the brutalization of the generation of the German youth, that learned how to kill, kill, kill. The Wehrmacht committed many atrocities. Many of the Germans so enjoyed their challenge, that some SSmen were court-martialed for excessive cruelty and pleasure derived in shooting children.
