Tonight, while at home, I was able to watch the film "A Few Good Men" (You know, Tom Cruise, Jack Nicholson, and the "You can't handle the truth" line). The movie revolved around this murder trial… and at the end, it becomes a battle between Justice (in the context of the law) and Power. Power argues that it should stay in control because it knows how everything is done and Power makes choices that "save lives" and that "are in the best interest of the country,” even if that means bending or breaking the law. On the other hand, there is Justice (in the context of the law). Justice reveals the corruptive nature of Power by some creative means, shedding light on Power's evil ways. Happy ending. The end. But Wait! Is this how justice works? Can justice truly be served in the context of the law? Can justice be limited to a certain set of rules and regulations of one country and be considered just for all? And at the same time, can justice (in the context of the law) shed light on true justice and peace?
