This is an example of foreshadowing. <span />
Wiesel's overall attitude towards the United States appears to be quite hopeful, in certain aspects. He discusses at length to a degree of how we, as people, we brave - and sought to fight for the greater good. It appears that he is respectful and somewhat grateful. But, there is also a hint of remorse for the lives lost in this war.
Hopefully, this helps! =)
The wonder and beauty of the American system of Justice is that when a crime is committed, the state "applies the law in a manner that offers redress and brings the guilty parties to justice".
