Entry 69

Every time I see Saddam in the court, my mind becomes completely occupied by what he has done & what the court of justice should decide for him ...



I believe strongly in the laws of the human rights like the one which says that we should treat everyone kindly & sensibly ...
I also believe strongly in their not accepting " retaliation " ... but when it comes to cases like Saddam, I think there is no other choice except " retaliation " in the sense that doing with the guilty person exactly what he has done to others ...
In Farsi we call it " Ghesaas " ...
But why do I believe in " retaliation " or " Ghesaas " for cases like Saddam? , because I think :
1) The guilty person must feel exactly what he has done to others
2) The other cruel & oppressive people in the world should see what has happened to the guilty people like them, maybe this lessens their oppression & cruelty ...
By the way, I know that less than 1% of them may be affected by this, and the sensible way to prevent them from their oppression is teaching them psycologically not to oppress others at all, but I think this is something that needs a long time and by the time it becomes effective, many people in the world will have been tormented & will have lost their lives ...
