Sure then let's hold the current generation everywhere accountable for the crimes of their forefathers...
And please point out where it was mentioned that the past was irrelevant.
Yeah right. So all that a perp needs to do - is hold on for a generation. Thats it then all the crimes will now have to be forgiven because sins of fathers etc etc. Do you apply the same logic to Mao/ tinamen square also - they have also been a generation ago.
