Mabus, there is indeed no excusing the actions taken by individuals in that perioid, reguardless of the approval they recieved for them, or fear of reprisal if they refused to participate. The individual always has a choice.

However, would you not agree that these are still, reguardless of the number of criminals, still individual crimes, carried out by individals?

What arbitary number of individuals merges to create a collective? What level of cohesion and collaberation lumps co-operating individuals into a singular entity? None, I say.

The masses did not fail, a mass of people failed. To buy into the myth of collectivism at all, for any reason, is to endorse the concept of collectivism.
