Man: A bullet! With my name on it! Dammit, Duke, I'm a guest in your country! Duke: First of all, you're not. Secondly, did it ever occur to you that I might have enemies too? Man: You? Ha! An insignificant insect like you has enemies! Don't make me laugh! Earl: Actually, he odes, Excellency. Lots of 'em. Listen, Pop. I could really use you at the office... Man: What for? Duke: Yeah, what for? Earl: Some of our other clients are still clinging to power. Duke: See? It's not always about you!
Revenge is often like biting a dog because the dog bit you. Austin O’Malley
The killing of Osama was justice. If an American life was the cost of a trial, it’s not worth it, take him out. The killing of random Iraqi citizens because they share the same race as our attackers would be barbaric and racist. The war was supposed to be preemptive, not vindictive.
One does not need to be religious to see a difference between justice and capricious vengeance.
