Indo-US bust up as diplomatic squabble intensifies
#10
Justification, justification, justification.... We ought to write a song about it.

Quote:The question then may be asked: Is it for U.S. prosecutors to look the other way, ignore the law and the civil rights of victims (again, here an Indian national), or is it the responsibility of the diplomats and consular officers and their government to make sure the law is observed?


Obviously you should not look the other way. No one is suggesting this except you. Obviously, victims rights need upholding and, if the defendant is found guilty, she would be subject to the accepted punishment under guidelines of diplomatic standards. No one is suggesting otherwise, except you.

I know what, let's pose some wholly irrelevant questions as justification for our treatment.

They just don't get it do they...
The shadow is a moral problem that challenges the whole ego-personality, for no one can become conscious of the shadow without considerable moral effort. To become conscious of it involves recognizing the dark aspects of the personality as present and real. This act is the essential condition for any kind of self-knowledge.
