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.
