#1 One of the (many) reasons I can't take the ICC and similar bodies seriously is that we have never had a "Nuremburg trial" for former Communist nations.(Milosevic didn't get in trouble until he became an atavistic Serb nationalist)

If the "international community" wants to blather about the need for "justice" they would have done well to start there.

#2 How about Pappenheim and Tilly? And don't forget the Goths, Vandals and Visigoths.

#4 And the final end of Cromwell doesn't constitute denunciation?

Over six days in 1660, at the Restoration of Charles II, nine of those convicted of the regicide of Charles I in 1649 were hanged, drawn and quartered in London. Three more would suffer the same fate within two years. Additionally, the corpses of Oliver Cromwell, John Bradshaw and Henry Ireton were disinterred and hanged, drawn and quartered in posthumous executions for their involvement in the regicide.
