He added that physical and psychological damages “inflicted on each individual of the Iranian nation in the 2nd and 3rd imposed wars, from child killings and war crimes in Minab and Lamerd to attacks on medical centres, is each a legal file that must be pursued in both domestic and international courts.”
He further stated that from the “murder” of newborns and the elderly to the assassination of his father and predecessor, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, “each is a file among thousands of major legal cases that must be earnestly pursued in domestic and international courts”.
“What is definite is that these criminals must be seized by the collar and brought to justice for their criminal deeds,” he asserted.
Never in my life could I have expected to agree with the Iranian government. But, on this specific issue? I do. There needs to be accountability for this.
Using your voice to criticize to justify war doesn’t make the world a better place.
War ends up causing more oppression to minority and vulnerable groups than just about the absolute worst circumstances. Samantha powers doctrine, which you are espousing, made the world a much much worse place for the people she claimed to want too help. You’re doing the same.
You NOT lending your voice to these justifications of war crimes would make the world a better place.
If you feel like you can’t ever speak out about anything outside your own country, I don’t think that helps. It’s good to be as critical towards your own country, of course, but I don’t think that should be an excuse not to lend your mind and voice to all the wrongs going on elsewhere
Fine. Stop lending your voice to justifying war. It is evil, and won’t accomplish what you want. If you find your message being used to justify war, stop immediately.
To be clear, while this SHOULD be a moral argument, it isn’t. This, at this point, is a pure effectiveness argument. The second your voice is being used to justify war, you will not accomplish what you hope.
