So your excuse is, "War crimes committed in the past in other places like Afghanistan and Korea were not called 'genocide' or properly prosecuted, so we should ignore these ones too and not call a spade a spade?" That's . . . pretty sad. Some of us would actually like the international community to learn from mistakes made in other conflicts.

Learn from mistakes, ah, sure. We'll prevent all wars entirely any day now.

Meanwhile Russia has invaded Ukraine, China is eyeing up Taiwan, and there are about a dozen other deadly conflicts going on around the world.

We can dream all we want about a peaceful world, but that's not the way things work in reality. Humans are very good at hating each other.
