Replying to a message of Bob Klahn to Tom Walker:

 MG>>>> One wonders if this old Nazi belonged to the UAW too.

 RW>>> One has to wonder how a Soviet Red Army soldier can be a NAZI.

 BK>  Lots of non-Germans served in the German army, and lots of them
 BK>  were NAZIs. Even POWs held by the Germans were sometimes offered  the
 BK> opportunity to fight with the German army, just against  somegroup
 BK> that person's background would let them fight against  anyway. Poles
 BK> against Russians, for example.

 MG>>>> But Ukrainian-born Demjanjuk, a retired autoworker, insists he's
 MG>>>> innocent.

 RW>>> He probably is. In any case, it's time to stop hunting would-be
 RW>>> holocaust criminals...the US shouldn't have agreed to send this old
 RW>>> man to Germany for trial. It's bad enough they have such a guilty
 RW>>> conscience that they have to persecute people 60+ years after the
 RW>>> fact.

 TW>> So you thinbk those that have been sucessful at Hiding
 TW>> should just get off with nothing??  Just Kiss and Make up
 TW>> like NOTHING happened??

 BK>  How about "persecute" 60+ years after the fact? Persecute?

 BK>  If he's guilty, his victims are still dead. If he's innocent,
 BK>  then it's a miscarriage of justice, just like any other.

The latter, IMO.  But hey, it makes the persecutors feel real good.

 TW>> That is a mind set that I just cannot understand.

 BK>  That may be because you aren't all that ready to forgive and
 BK>  forget mass murder.

 BK>  Esp if they haven't paid their price for it.

I'm sure that if the man is guilty that his penance will be forthcoming shortly.
I doubt that he'll survive another year.
