Now that you guys mention it, I am somewhat familiar with the Nazis being tried at Nuremberg. But on an unrelated note......81 people is not very many people, chump change really, and people die all the time from all kinds of causes. What makes this particular case special?

You’re an asshole.

I suppose one has to first value human life in order to understand the issue.

Reminds me of a statement by Lenin, "A death of an individual is a tragedy, the death of a million, a statistic".
Executions are unnecessary and cruel; 81 in one day is, at a minimum, poking due process of law in the eye. By international standards of law, everyone is entitled to due process, and beheading 81 human beings in an afternoon is not due process.

Due process is a means to determine if they ARE criminals, and even criminals are human and deserve reasonable treatment.
I am a criminal, I broke the the law about 6 months ago by driving at 34 mph in a 30 zone, am I not allowed reasonable treatment or consideration?

After withdrawing American forces from Afghanistan, Biden confiscated billions of dollars in Afghan funds from foreign banks. Then he gave half of it to people affected by 9-11, even though the Afghani people had little or nothing to do with 9-11. Basically Biden stole it, because he could. Some of it he will "give back" to Afghanistan as aid, which we can feel kind and generous about.
Anyway, far more than 81 people will die as a result of having their money stolen during a harsh winter when the economy was in bad shape anyway.
So you're right, in relation to the evils done consistently by the USA, 81 is chump change.
But the 81 in question were killed by Muslims, so it gives us license to get all mad and high and mighty and blame some amorphous thing called "religion." Because it isn't really about morality. It's about us vs. them.
