Oh for the love of all things good. I have to admit, I don't understand the mentality of people who need to comfort themselves by downplay the suffering of others. Whatever fantasy they are trying to create isn't worth the act of having to degrade yourself to that extent. Clearly, they are creating situations where atrocities can be repeated. Who would even want that? Even with the slightest bit of imagination, you would be able to realize that you wouldn't want those things done to you. Decency and compassion aren't complex ideas: they are natural conclusions to logical thinking.
