Vengeance

America seeks vengeance everyday, yet for cultures that make it more obvious that they are seeking it, America looks down upon them. A war is happening right now in Iraq and are we not seeking revenge. When 9-11 happened our President said that the terrorist who committed this horrific crime will pay no matter the cost. That is no different from what Daniel was did. The President and soldiers are somewhat a clan or gang of some sort, when there people are harmed or killed they will seek revenge to put fear in the hearts of others.
The real question is should it ever be right to declare revenge on another person or persons? Morally in my opinion no but it is apart of human nature to seek revenge especially when we feel that a wrongful death has occurred. It goes back to the "an eye for an eye" slogan, every time a life is taken another life has to end. Such as when someone commits murder, in some states, they will face the death penalty. Yet it is still wrong to take a life no matter what the crime is, but sadly the cycle will never end.
