>You were there? No? You watched the taped proceedings then?
That's not how history works.
There's no end of historical accounts, transcripts of the proceedings, etc to learn about it. Neither being there, nor taped proceedings are needed.
And neither being in the court or watching taped proceedings will give you what that show meant in the larger historical context, and in the context of the geopolitics of the time. The books, actual knowledge of the before and after, and more, might.
>I find your argument uniquely cowardly: Power without justice is a recipe for tyranny.
That's exactly what the goverments who run those trials had for themselves, before, during, and after.
>Yes, there is plenty of atrocity. Pretending the allied behavior is as atrocious as Stalin, Mao, Mussolini, or Hitler, is pretentious relativism.
Only because it was mostly done to brown people in Africa, or to Asia, or Latin America, so you don't care.
