Jungle justice

Sir, - From Vietnam to Afghanistan, the U.S. has travelled a long distance via Grenada, the Persian Gulf, Operation Desert Storm and Somalia. It also had to face Saddam Hussein and Fidel Castro along the route. The war in Afghanistan is a show of force and arrogance on the part of the U.S. It is strange that a superpower needs the help of 100 nations to capture a terrorist.

Retaliation and revenge are justice of the jungle. Don Marquis has rightly said that ours is a world where people don't know what they want and are willing to go through hell to get it.
