That’s right. Our nation is not evil, because we punish criminals in our society, and apologize to their victims.
Individual Americans committed war crimes during the invasion of Europe in 1944. Were FDR’s forces no different than Hitler’s? I say they were different, because the Americans punished those who committed crimes, while the Germans celebrated them.
Sometimes police officers murder people, but the police aren’t evil because they punish criminals in their midst. Do you think the police and the mafia are indistinguishable? Who would you call if you were robbed?
