Nazi guard found guilty today

What do you think about it? His name is John Demjanjuk.

Someone commented in response to the article, "This prosecution served only to assuage a warped sense of vengeance."

Another, "The main point of this trial was the process and getting the evidence aired in public rather than the verdict."

Again, justice vs peace. Guilty or not guilty? Justice served or "What justice?!"?

There are so many war crimes in our history, some under the spotlight more than others. And prosecuting certain names and faces for these crimes... it's important (right?)!

On another note.. is it teaching us anything? There are so many war crimes today. It's ongoing. And, no, I'm not saying that laws and enforcement of laws exist to prevent further crimes. But shouldn't what gives us 20/20 vision in hindsight teach us something, anything that would "better" the state of current affairs today?

After thought:

During my lunch break today, I came across Deuteronomy 17:2-7. The law that s/he who worships another god shall be put to death did not deter some from ultimately turning to other gods. What happened? How was there no fear to obey when breaking that law meant the death sentence? Whether idolatry or war crimes, tis a mystery...
