Colin Powell – the dead ‘war criminal’ by Dr. Habib Siddiqui
A 96-year-old former Nazi concentration camp secretary who had absconded before her trial finally appeared in court in Germany on Tuesday (October 19, 2021). Irmgard Furchner is the first woman to be prosecuted for Nazi-era crimes in decades. She is charged with complicity in the killing or attempted killing of more than 11,000 people at the Stutthof camp in occupied Poland.
If a camp secretary, who was merely a teenager in Hitler’s Germany, can be tried today for her alleged war crimes, how about the ‘real’ criminals who planned and executed the mass murder of hundreds of thousands of innocent people, and destroyed an entire country? What excuse does our civilized world have for its impotence to prosecute the mass murderers of our time?
Colin Powell, the former United States secretary of state (2001-2005) died from complications of COVID-19 on October 18, 2021.
Born in 1937 in New York City, Powell was the son of immigrants from Jamaica and was raised in South Bronx. Despite being a straight C-average student, he became one of the most successful and recognizable African American figures in the USA. He was the first African American secretary of state. He served as the 16th United States national security advisor from 1987 to 1989. He was the 12th chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff from 1989 to 1993 during which time he oversaw 28 crises, including the invasion of Panama in 1989 and Operation Desert Storm in the Persian Gulf War against Iraq in 1990–1991.
