In a crazy sort of way, even mass murderers turn out later to have done good for the world. They (sometimes) get arrested and tried for “genocide” and judged guilty at The Hague. More often, not. Now it’s Mladic. Funny thing, though, is that “ethnic cleansing” is clearly culpable as “genocide” but the bombing of children in Afghanistan or the starving of children in Ethiopia does not qualify as “genocide.” Isn’t that strange?
Report thisEven so, it all works in either case toward a gradual but universal awakening of souls. Slowly but surely almost all of us know by now what’s what. The sheets covering the corpses are wearing thinner by the year. The point draws ever-nearer where too much finally becomes enough already! We all look at our own hands, see blood, and awaken from the long nightmare of war.
