It's been over 60 years since the Holocaust, and people still want to track down ex-Nazis and prosecute them before they die. Do you think this is the right thing to do?

@B.Kevorkian: Yes, it still is an option. That's why I posted the link-- it's a link to a news article about a campaign in South America to bring ex-Nazis to justice.

For a war that's been over for 67 years, you would be looking for people who would be 87 years old if they were 20 in 1945 or 82 years if they were 15 years old in 1945.
It would be more productive to use that effort to stop genocide which is still occurring in the world today.

Is it really still an option? Few of the Nazis that fled justice were particularly young. They're almost certainly all dead by now. Even ex-Hitler Youth are old men.

they are bast*ards afterall.
but if we're going to hunt down everybody who helped commit some twisted ethnocentric genocide, we've got a lot of work to do.
we can start with the english, for raping, murdering, and oppressing my irish ancestors.
while we're at it, let's go after some jews too. for that whole christianity jesus thing.

It's been 5 or 6 years since Bush had many Iraqis killed, should we prosecute him?
