'Witch hunt' normally refers to hounding someone for minor or imagined offenses.

Condoleezza Rice actively participated in launching a war of aggression, an offense which was deemed worthy of the death penalty at the Nuremberg trials. I think ostracizing her and any company which does business with her is entirely fair and reasonable.

Depending on who you ask every war is a war of aggression. I find this whole concept of "war crimes" silly. Like there's legal and good way to go about killing people and a bad and illegal way to go about killing people.
Wow, what a wishy-washy response that escapes all responsibility. Just because something is sometimes hard to decide doesn’t mean you have to throw it out of the window to make it all more comfortable for you. You are a coward.
> You are a coward.

That sort of language is definitely not constructive, and probably explains your downvotes.
