Justice?Some thoughts, this second week of our trials and tribulations.'I want justice' - George W. Bush, Sep 17, 2001 (cnn.com) "I say, bomb the hell out of them. If there's collateral damage, so be it. They certainly found our civilians to be expendable." - Sen. Zell Miller, D-Ga. - Sep 13, 2001 Justice? I. An attack on civilization and our freedom - innocence and naivete dead - so in this new world where 'the rules have changed', will bombs now do the job, salvage humanity ..and revenge wash away the screams of the dieing? The darkness we seek elsewhere is often within ourselves. II. Morbid fascination that makes the media show us the same clip over and over again? III. Even as the clouds of dusk and smoke settle - we declare in unison: "We are the masters of war - our war machines revved up in unity" - the rhetoric loud and clear, the depths of our umbrage and pain clouding our senses. Will we be able to see clearly again? IV. Howard Zinn writes, "Not violence, but healing, not vengeance but compassion". Guess it only applies to the doctors, fire-fighters, policemen, and words on a poetry board. Real life plays itself out through rhetoric. Retaliation, Revenge, Resentment the three R's for the day. V. Parting thought for the day - War and terrorism .. two sides of the same coin? Sanjeev Naik September 17, 2001 |
