Accusers Mostly Losers

(Mary Custis was the wife of Robert E. Lee. Union forces captured her ante-bellum mansion in what is now Arlington Cemetery and defiled it, because it was the only thing of Lee's they could get their hands on.) Suppose you kill Gaddafi and Hussein, or sad old Nazis, huddled in the dock. So what exactly do you think you gain? Your own humanity is what you mock, not them. The winners stringing-up the losers can not be right. You heap your fury on the halt and helpless. Beggars can’t be choosers, but winners can. (Why not Ben-Gurion?) Put Karadzic before a firing-squad for spite, or just to entertain the flock, but don’t disguise the ugly thing your lust is. Don’t talk of Law, or Liberty, or God. Go rape the home of absent Mary Custis, if rape you must. Don’t dress it up as Justice.
