Interesting response to genocide

This is incredibly bad juju. Spain is internationally prosecuting 40 soldiers for war crimes allegedly committed while those soldiers were fighting to stop and genocide and remove the genocidal government from power.

The message that this sends is right up the alley of the self-same internationalists who will not lift one finger to stop an on-going genocide. Instead, they would rather prosecute those who fight back and thereby put try to put a chill over the possible actions of anyone who might try and fight back. It goes hand in hand with the international arms control movement who wish to turn us all into sheep who are beholden to the legion of appointed bureaucrats who sit in comfortable chairs in the Hague, New York, and other places.

I always say that no good deed goes unpunished. But this is bullshit.

international law will make sense when there's a single world government, not before.

which will happen eventually, i think. we're one species, there's not that much point to splitting ourselves up as we have other than difficulties of communication, and technology and trade are slowly erasing those. the historical trend for many centuries now has been towards fewer and larger sovereignities; another few centuries and perhaps there'll be just one, global, nation. us today will be long dead and gone before that happens, but i see no reason it wouldn't happen.

no point making global laws before there's a global state to enforce them, though. "international law" in today's world is a bad joke.
