“For month after month in all the regions of East Pakistan the massacres went on,” writes Robert Payne. “They were not the small casual killings of young officers who wanted to demonstrate their efficiency, but organized massacres conducted by sophisticated staff officers, who knew exactly what they were doing. Muslim soldiers, sent out to kill Muslim peasants, went about their work mechanically and efficiently, until killing defenseless people became a habit like smoking cigarettes or drinking wine. … Not since Hitler invaded Russia had there been so vast a massacre.” (Payne, Massacre, p. 29.)

This is basically why I chose this issue to blog about. Even though the genocide in bangladesh wasn't as hollywood as the Hitler invasion dosent mean we shouldn't recognize these people more often. Only until now I've heard of this problem and that occured almost fourty years ago! The world is getting too violent something needs to done about it. How come leaders always need to show their supremacy by bullying people around, aren't you the bigger man if you protect the weak?
