<<Whatever Talibaans did to the civilians doesn't justify mass murders....i guess I'm with Gandhi on this one...>>
I am with Gandhi also. In this picture, the punishment was done by another Muslim, and I prefer to give benefit of any doubt to the NA Afghan, and some Afghans do have sense of justice and what is the just punishment corresponding to the crime. I recall pictures of atrocities in Vietnam, Hiroshima/Nagasaki, and Auschwitz and Treblinka. Those are YIKESSSS!!!
<<they belong in jail, without parole, without ever getting a shot at freedom>>
Deny him from his virgins waiting in heaven? How cruel!
<<And the countries they come from, should either be made to disown them by striping them of their citizenship, or their countries should be held accountable for the acts of their citizens.>>
That's worse option. No citizenship, no identity, no family, but back to the world of jehadis?
<<..it tends to demean us who won the war. Retribution can never be an emotion of a civilized society. Rampant killings validate and reinforce their beliefs that we are 'evil'.>>
Not so, not in the heat of a battle. Not just after a battle when friends and relatives had died. Not even us Americans are immune from being humans. Afghans are humans too, but much more hardened by a generation of miseries and hardships. |
