All in the same boat, eh?
It's been a long time since I updated here and as I was reading your comments on the previous post it occurred to me, for the zillionth time since I've started communicating through the net, that people are really different. I mean I cannot imagine anybody trying to justify what has happened to other human beings by saying that well it happens elsewhere as well!
My previous post, written in a very emotional moment I should admit, was a sign of my disgust for any kind of interference with other people's lives in the name of aims which are in clear contrast with your method of enforcing them. I don’t know if it makes sense to you at all when I say that I don’t really care if it was Iraqis who were being tortured or Iranians or Americans, what matters to me is that NO human is entitled to harm others in ANY way for ANY purpose. This is why I resent capital punishment or other types of physical punishment.
Anyhow, I think people are different and they have different ideas; one cannot expect everybody to discard all nationalistic prejudices and judge issues based on pure humanitarianism and void of all kinds of bias and comparison. And this, I think, is the unfortunate result that we get, people are being tortured and others come and say, well, they've hurt others and so …
