in the name of justice

Listening to the news in the past two days, I saw on TV that American veterans were protesting at the gate of the White House against the United States' involvement in the war against Libya. Libya is rich in oil resources and is known as the oil depot of Europe because of its proximity to the Mediterranean Sea.
There is a saying in economics called the resource curse, which means that some countries seem to be blessed with abundant natural resources, but these natural resources have not brought a rich life to the people on this land, but have caused the country to fall into conflict and conflict. poverty. Diamonds in Sierra Leone (I believe friends who have seen blood diamonds must be impressed), oil in Iraq... So some people call this air strike against Libya by France, Britain, the United States and NATO as a "crusade", but this time the leader Instead of the Pope, the target has changed from Jerusalem, "full of milk and honey," to Libya, where the ground is full of oil and gold.
After coming into contact with a lot of Western cultures and systems (such as the jury system in American courts), I still yearn for the United States. I didn’t expect that even the most human rights advocates have their own troubles. This is the first time I heard about stop- The word loss, forced return to expedition is easy to think of our ancient conscription system: "Cheques, horses Xiaoxiao, pedestrians have bows and arrows at their waists, mothers and wives walk to see each other, and Xianyang Bridge is not seen in the dust." This is the scene described in Du Fu's military chariot,
at least in peacetime, we are worried that we can't find a job, can't pay the rent, can't afford to see a doctor, or even "dead without a place to be buried" (the cemetery is as exciting as the house price?) However, no We are worried about the issue of military service (more people are also good?)
We have been instilled with patriotism since childhood, but war is war, and it is essentially the cannibalism and retribution between people, whether it is in the name of justice or not. In order to protect themselves, they had to kill people, and while eradicating terrorist armed forces, they sacrificed the lives of several innocent people and the blood of their comrades-in-arms! It is not difficult to understand why some people still live in the shadow of war after the war, it is a lingering nightmare.
Praying for ordinary people killed and wounded in war and families who lost husbands, children and fathers, God bless you!
