And if they don't, then others have to do the job, yes? Furthermore, the implication is that lots of other countries are as guilty as Pakistan when in fact most don't merit to be tarred with the same brush.
Z.A. Bhutto created a commission on the 1971 debacle and buried it: it was his weapon in reserve to wield against the military if it got too uppity. Naturally, that created a powerful incentive for military leaders to make Z.A.B. enemy #1 as soon as they could.
Authoritarian thinking is Pakistan's downfall - the thinking that person and power makes judgments even in denial of law and objective truths.
Perhaps what Bengalis desire is for Pakistanis to do justice to their own - by prosecuting war criminals or at least wringing out and confessing to the truth of their crimes.
And in 1971 Bengalis were vilified in West Pakistan as Hindu puppets and worse. That helped empower the genocide. It shows the power of government-directed hate and the need to oppose governments who try to wield it.
I guess you know more about history than Historians themselves. You are a typical American posing yourself as holier than thou material when your own country has killed more people in last century than any in history. Americans themselves helped pakistan in 1971 and reason was that Bangali uprising was supported and financed by soviets and indians from get go. So you might want to read a little bit of history rather than spouting self concocted nonsense. Better yet clean your house from war criminals rather than accusing others of war crimes. I dont even need to mention Afghanistan and Iraq where you yankees killed and still killing civilians in the name of your so called national security. Then there is libya and not to mention your crown achievement syria where you Americans the so called world police incited a rebelion against asad. After you rebilion created mess on scale no one created in history now you are kissing same guys arse to pull out of that war as well. You Americans of all people shouldnt lecture anyone on morality PERIOD.
