tvoivozhd---only if you don.t believe that  what's sauce for the goose 
is sauce for the gander.  If I had been one of the guys liberating 
Dachau or Auschwitz---or capturing Japan's Unit 731 butchers, and  goons 
in charge of the Bataan Death March, I would have been laughing so hard 
I could barely walk as they all collapsed in a pool of blood.  It's not 
payment in full for their magnitude of their cruelty, but it's the best 
you can do.
