About Justice

" Justice has been done! "  That's what U.S President Barack Obama told reporters after he announced that the world terrorist leader Osama Bin Laden has been killed by U.S naval Seals in Pakistan last Monday.

By saying those words, he made it sound as if the killing was legitimate based on the verdict of the court of law, while actually it was based on executive order to avenge the death of thousands of U.S citizens killed by the suicide bombings of the World Trade Center, New York, on 11 September 2001, allegedly instructed by Osama.

The above words reminds me of the lyrics of a song of one of my most favorite rock band YES i.e. Hold On, as follows : 

Justice to the left of you 
Justice to the right
Speak when you are spoken to
Don't pretend you're right
Life is not for living
It's for fighting and for war
No matter what the truth is
Hold on to what is yours

Jigsaw puzzle traitors
Set to spill the beans
Constitution screw up
Shattering the dreams
Blood flow in the dessert
Dark citadels burning too
Watch! Look over your shoulder
This one is strictly for you

Hold on, hold on

After Osama's Death

After US President Barack Obama announced the death of terrorist leader Osama Bin Laden yesterday, the news media reported that almost every one are happy with his death.

Even a radical website in Indonesia seemed to be happy too, only they assumed that Osama's death has been a Syahid Death (killed in a holy war).

However, there were some alarming news about the possibility of Osama's organization Al-Qaeda making efforts to revenge his death.

The Chief of U.S Central Intelligence Agency Leon Panetta warned the world to be on high alert because he believed that Al-Qaeda almost certainly will try to avenge.

While the Indonesian Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal and Security Affairs Djoko Suyanto said that the government is bracing for possible reactions by local hard-line groups following Osama bin Laden’s death and stepping up security.

I hope that Osama's death would not soften our government's efforts to eliminate any acts of terrors in Indonesia.
