Sorry to be aggressive, not my style, and I know I'm hot writing. But I will not hold. Leo
World today (Sunday) a statement of in Woody Allen Film Festival Cannes . The journalist asks:
- Does Bin Laden's death an act of vengeance or justice?
WA: I'd rather not analyze it in those terms. I think the capture and killing of Bin Laden was a good thing. He was a murderer, a terrible man. I do not mind he was murdered. Arguably should have been tried, but that did not deserve clemency because he murdered innocent people. The world is better since it is not. Go
. It is not contradicted by saying "I'd rather not analyze it these terms (for revenge or justice), to immediately do so, making clear that he thought it was really good revenge, as it was. "Who are you, Mr. Allen, to say who deserves forgiveness and who does not? What has been making clear that Bin Laden is an atrocity. But every person in the civilized world deserves a trial. I guess your progressive thinking will be against the death penalty, against the targeted killing, Guantanamo and in favor of state law. But it seems that there always comes a time when we must make an exception, right? This reminds me of the fallacy that denounced Orwell in Animal Farm: "All animals are equal but some are more equal than others. "
- did not deserve clemency because he murdered innocent people." Yes, what can we do, especially the murderers in general kill innocent people. It is a discovery. According to his reasoning could empty the prisons around the world within days. And justice would be much faster. The law of retaliation would still be too conservative. We can retrace the way to humanization, if wants.
- "the world is better since it is not." This sentence I imagine most in the mouth Schwarzenegger, having killed the villain, and the hundred that lay ahead. Are we catching up? I thought you were an intellectual who loathe the Hollywood Manichean and violent. Still do not know Laden's murder has caused almost instantly with a vengeance with 80 deaths in Pakistan, a Taliban suicide terrorist? What world is he who is better since it is not Laden? Does the American world, with high security, but, as we have seen, is not invulnerable? It appears that Pakistan, which is also "world" is no better.
And I recommend that you not longer treading the red carpet at Cannes , because this is Europe, where Islamist attacks are more likely.
- "does not bother me that was killed." Perhaps a calf itching bothers you more.
Finally, this is very reminiscent of Rene Girard's scapegoat: Laden was innocent, but their sacrifice can help bring together a nation by the instinct of revenge, group by one point to Democrats and Republicans, and hide what CIA is doing for the world. Then he erected a mosque at ground zero and everyone is happy.
And on the two Pearl his friend Obama in speech announcing the assassination:
"America can do what is proposed" All empires end up falling, my friend. "We are one nation, under God, indivisible. .. " Please let God calm, it has nothing to do with it.
(In short, a relief. I have nothing against "the Americans", I have friends there that I love. This has to do with ideology and the spiral of violence that is created when all worth).
