Re: Why so long ,,??
Jukka,
I will respond to a couple of points raised in your post #21.
1. "...In the European historical tradition intentional targeting of civilian population has been a rarity and in fact, the first large-scale act of such policy was initiated by Britain in WWI through its maritime blockade of Central powers..." Go read up on the inital advance of German forces into Belgium in the First World War. I would venture to suggest that the slaughter of civilians by German soldiers was the first large-scale targeting of civilian population. And it was a quite deliberate act. Go read up on it.
2. I asked Kaczmarek to provide evidence that 1 million were 'killed', as opposed to 'died'. There is a difference, and your good command of English should enable you to understand the difference. Your criminal law point does nothing to prove what Kaczmarek said was correct, but I would suggest he needs to follow the legal tenet of 'He who asserts must prove', otherwise he is making a statement without providing any proof of it whatsoever (not the first time such a thing has happened on here, or elsewhere, recently...)
