Just because it's ok for the animals to do it doesn't mean we should; we are not animals.
Again, my point missed you by atleast a few light years. The point is most large and powerful nations think they are all high and mighty and their way of life is the right way. The point is that its not, the way of life is what your society and culture deems to be right. What seems odd to person A may seem to be very normal to person B. When I lived in India I never got why people got so uptight about eating beef, but then I realized its because in that culture the cow is a sacred animal. When I lived in England I never understood why schools would close down early because of a soccer game, then I realized its an integral part of their society.
Again I am not saying what happened is right. In fact its very wrong and punishable by law. All I am saying is that we read of thousands of minor incidents that we blow out of proportion because of our narrow vision.
