My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.
I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.
Fair point, but I actually did read the book I referenced just for this thread, as well as parts of Behrens and Henham, Elements of Genocide (2013), in particular the chapters on actus rea and mens rea. The latter is a more legalistic treatment and analysis of the Genocide Convention, the history of its codification, and interpretations given at trial court cases. Crandar and Sarmatian may appreciate it, as the authors tend to endorse a narrower interpretation of the Convention that hews toward biological destruction rather than a broad, "social" interpretation.
It's not very intellectual anyway, but you were fine when I did Arendt I guess.
