Re: A Statistical Analysis of the ICTY's bias. (none / 1)

Because you said that... maybe the Serbs DID commit more war crimes than the other groups. So I'm wondering what could drive a given ethnic group to be more murderous than another.

Not a given ethnic group. The whole thing was political and it is entirely possible for a given polity to go temporarily insane (or more insane then their neighbours in a time of general insanity).

Does the fact that Nazi Germany had more war criminals than the Allies point to genetic causes, or political causes?

I think everyone was equally insane. You don't have degrees of sanity in a war. The differentiating factor was military.

Was there a degree of sanity in the case of WWII?
