On this forum, I keep reading
about ‘justice’. I wonder what is the true
perception of justice for some of us?
The total destruction of the
country from which the Iraqi society may never
recover. A death toll of over 600 000 innocents and
still counting, the attack on Faluja with (banned)
chemical bombs, burning and disfiguring of a large
number of citizens, the real count of which is still
unknown. Permanently polluting the soil of the country
with spent uranium shells. A uniformed bunch of
terrorists can enter any Iraqi home at any time, do to
them whatever they feel like, there is no
accountability or sense or responsibility whatsoever.
Selling the country’s only resource to the foreign
countries such that the Iraqis will get a very small
part of it. Does this sick state of affair amount to
some kind of justice?
Do we insist that lynching an
ass-brained, highly controversial individual was worth
all that bloodshed? It is like killing a fly using a
large caliber rifle bullet while the fly is sitting on
someone’s forehead.
Those who live in the US, must
be feeling secure, among hundreds of millions who
would not give two hoots to the death and destruction,
as long as it takes place in a far away land only to
provide them with colorful fireworks entertainment for
the evening news on TV, watching the brave uniformed
terrorists in Abram tanks firing on un-armed helpless
citizens.
