Or the triumph of superior morality ? I remember watch the TV film Nuremberg which starred Alec Baldwin as the prosecutor where in a scene where they are planning the trial for the Nazi war criminals, one of them says ''My worry is is that when all has been said and done, this trial will be seen as nothing more than a triumph of superior might: the winners exacting revenge on the losers.'' and Baldwin responds by saying ''Well my job is to make sure this not the triumph of superior might but the triumph of superior morality.'' I seem to agree with that statement and think the standards of ''morality'' of the Nazis was immoral.
