Yet, "no" is a necessary response. If history is a nightmare from which we're trying to awake, it is in large part because of reflexive recourse to eye-for-an-eye justice. Inevitably, avenging the deaths of innocents through military might causes the deaths of more innocents, engenders new grievances that require retribution -- whether immediately or in generations to come -- and provides a pretext that serves the power lust of corrupt elites. At some point, we have to get off that merry-go-round from hell.
