Re: [casi] Scott Ritter



Nermin,

Thank you for sharing your interview with Scott Ritter. You did a great job and asked the right 
questions..

One of Ritter's answers (below) I found to be a bit of an oxymoron. He is saying he has always 
worked for peace, but was in the Marines. And says "I think it is great when one fights a just 
war." Since when has any war been deemed "just"? How can one work for peace and have orders to 
murder another human being?

You were one of the toughest UNSCOM inspectors. What had changed your position?

I have always worked for peace, even when I was in the Marines and during the [Second Gulf] war. I 
think it is great when one fights a just war. As an inspector, I was working under the mandate 
stipulated by UN Security Council resolutions.

Forgiveness breaks the chain of causality because he who forgives you -- out of love--takes upon 
himself the consequences of what you have done. Forgiveness, therefore, always entails a sacrifice.
