Now baroness makes a point, 20th and 21st century violence SEEMS to NOT be intended for the actual “offenders” BUT directed almost exclusively at the inncocent. For example, the radicals of the Middle East are offended by the U.S. Government, yet who is being attacked? Innocent Iraqis have become the intended targets, in order to “get the messge across”. On 9-11, Again, the offender was the U.S Government, yet over 3,000 innocent people working in a couple of office buildings were the intended targets. In ALL cases (biblical, Medeival, and 20th-21st Century) it’s STILL the innocent who have ended up paying the price, while the actual folks who should have been the targets, were the ones killed. It makes absoluetly NO sense to me whatsoever. It leaves me feeling that JUSTICE, justice as conceived with respect to the current political and Religious viewpoints, simply is NOT JUSTICE at all. It’s only wrongful justification to go out and simply kill for the sake of killing. The intended targets are irrelevant.

EDIT: Actually, I can understand how Bin Laden would not have viewed the people in the Towers as “innocent” victims. As near as I can tell, much of his rage against the US stems from our past corporate machinations combined with CIA actions to exploit their countries for US benefit and “Empire building”. I’d be pissed also, and I am annoyed at many of the things the CIA has done, under Presidential oversight. Doesn’t mean I wouldn’t drop him at long range if I had the chance…

But then I still vote, and talk, even though it doesn’t seem to do any good.

In medieval times, unenlightened parents obeyed God about corporate punishment.
