Not really sure what your point is. What is it? "Justice" often has a revenge component to it. Are you saying the people who drive a bomb full of explosives into a crowd of Iraqis looking for work killed all those formerly unemployed and now dead Iraqis for......"justice"? What does killing loads of Iraqi kids while they play soccer have to do with justice? If the idea is attacking the coalition is a means of revenge because the coalition killed your family, sure, it makes some sense. How is anonymously killing 15 random Iraqis in the marketplace justice? As perhaps may be clear, I can't tell from your post what point you are trying to make, other than your belief that Afghanistan didn't have anything to do with 9/11, which was nowhere hear the topic we were sort of discussing.

What justice are the Iraqis using power drills to torture their brother Iraqis achieving? For that matter, what revenge? No, my friend, what they are doing is being as batshit crazy and cruel as it's possible to be so they can scare the crap out of the people who are competing with them for access to finite resources, like political power. I think they've watched too many Mafia movies. But you know, it probably works. Most normal people when they see a crazy man coming after them with a power drill will run away as hard and fast as they can. It wouldn't take too many bombs in the marketplace to get me to pack up and move, either. We all come from a long line of people who ran away or walked away from trouble and lived to reproduce.
