That is because of our freedom, our ability to criticize, hold accountable and most importantly even if it takes a lifetime, bring to justice (irrespective of their status) all those that commit such dastardly acts.<BR/><BR/>A true example of this freedom was the bringing to light the Abu Ghraib violations where all those guilty were named, shamed & dishonorably discharged. And in time, there will be more to come.<BR/><BR/>Having said all that, I admit these incidents were not our finest hour(s) but at least there are elements in our society that vehemently enforce accountability. You may call them a different kind of Brothers in Arms or for a lack of a better term - An elite fraternity for accountability.<BR/><BR/>Notwithstanding above, my heart goes out for Ali, Youssif and all those nameless & faceless (irrespective of their borders and ethnicity) tolls of senseless conflicts in this day & age.<BR/><BR/>*Merry Christmas*Kylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11249412273016951816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15456688.post-2666225730631894332008-12-23T20:57:00.000+04:002008-12-23T20:57:00.000+04:00Kyle, so you quietly write a thanks note, is that ...Kyle, so you quietly write a thanks note, is that all & pretend it ends at that?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15456688.post-11426533782554719222008-12-23T10:52:00.000+04:002008-12-23T10:52:00.000+04:00Hemlock:I’m glad you brought that up because until...<B>Hemlock</B>:<BR/><BR/>I’m glad you brought that up because until your link I had not known about it.
