Can violation of human rights be justified?

[Suresh Gupta]

Many innocent human beings have been killed in Afghanistan and Iraq. Many more are under threat if Iran is attacked. Can such senseless killings be justified?

Its all about war. War means death, until it is over & who knows when that will be? Send the person or people who ordered it to happen, on the front line. I think they would have had another solution to world disagreements?

I agree. Sending people who order wars on the front line can be a solution. If these warmongers are removed from the scene then other solutions to disagreements might emerge.

nonsense, it is no solution at all. think rationally, please. here's an example: send george bush to the front lines. he's killed in short order. the united states is then forced to follow the constitution and make dick cheney, the vice-president, president. as the leader, he implicitly is part of 'the problem', so must be sent to the front lines. he's killed in short order. the united states is then forced to follow the constitution and make the Speaker of the House of Representatives president. as the leader, he implicitly is part of 'the problem', so must be sent to the front lines. he's killed in short order. the united states is then forced to follow the constitution and make the president Pro Tempore of the Senate, president. and on and on. what we're left with is total chaos in our political structure. that' perfect! just what terrorists, and other enemies of our country would love! heck, china might decide it's a good time to make an attempt at invading.

there are pipe dreams, and there's reality. if you want solutions to problems, it's probably best to think rationally about the problems, and focus on real solutions.

I think certain groups, because of their current hold on our government SHOULD be denied some human rights. Miami Cubans, Jewish settlers, Christian conservatives, Islamic militants, extremist Hindus, pro-U.S. Iraqis, racists and nationalists. This is my opinion.

Jeez David. I dont think anyone should be denied human rights, just because of who they are and what they believe. I love Christ, so I should be punished?

I would gladly go down in a battle with any of these groups. My self determination and human rights should not be compared to the terrorists I mentioned.
