In September 1982, Muslims murdered the Lebenese president-elect Bachir Gemayel, and in response, his supporters - the Christian militia - stormed the Sabra and Shatila refugee camps, killing an unknown number of people. The Red Cross counted 400 bodies, "International Sources" speak of 800, and the Palestinians speak of 3500.
Israel took heavy political fire for this, as this was done under's "Israel's shift". Israel conquered Lebanon a couple of months earlier, and was held responsible for this horrible act of violence.
Now, nearly 30 years later, Sunni Muslims kill Shiite Muslims (and vice versa) under American occupation. Will America be requested to pay the price for such acts? Will General Petraeus - the commander of the U.S. Central Command, who is personnaly responsible for Iraq - will he be requested to pay the price?
Or is it that it's okay for everyone to kill everyone, as long as they don't wear Israeli uniforms?

Well, it is a retoric question after all. I do not keep count of the number of victims but I am prety sure it exceed the numbers from 82. No one care.
We live in un just world. Looking for it can be like searching for fountain of youth.
