Can anyone explain why digging another grave in Iraq does anyone any good?
It's the very same appetite for vengence that has produced an Iraq where random, sectarian massacre is a common place, every day event.
Instead of acting in a civilised way this death sentance is just the latest chapter of bloody vendetta. It's exactly what Saddam Hussein would have done. It represents no improvement at all, merely a continuation of bloodshed, terror and murder. Does the reversal of X kills Y to Y kills X equate to a moral victory? Hardly.
This was the perfect opportunity to place a building block for peace in Iraq. It could have been a new beginning, based on a rejection of violence and killing. Rather the unimaginative and destructive bloodlust that has engulfed Iraq gets a Goverment seal of approval.
I hope everyone of you think that the eradication of one bad man is worth the 50 or 80 or 100 innocent people who will die today, tortured, shot, blown to pieces, and those who die tomorrow and the next day and the next day...
i totally agree, thats a very good way of putting it.
but at least now others will be deterred from becoming brutal dictators.
