The Importance of Dr. Paul's Dissent

In 1998 Kyoto's Gokokushrine was the first to set up a Paul monument on its grounds. Dr. Paul detected that the tribunal was none other than a formalized vengeance sought with arrogance by the victorious Allied powers upon a defeated Japan. Whatever Paul's objections, the Tokyo and Nuremberg trials have become formative precedents in the idea of responsibility for crimes against humanity. The most important thing about Red Habanade Paul is how he represents the danger of something called the appeal to authority.
