Much as horrific that war crimes are, time to time it is perhaps important to remind ourselves that history is written by the victorious. Case in point the United State's human experiments on syphilis, radioactivity,forced malnutrition etc on the mentally ill, slaves, POW etc. In fact a popular defense during Nuremberg trials was that US doctors did these too. One can take some comfort in the presupposition that we weren't as bad as the bad guys. But had the Nazis won they would perhaps come to the same conclusion, the bad guys in that case would have been the allied forces.
