no, try justice...or injustice as the case may be
and please don't waste any post-modern moral-relativistic argumentative drivel trying to (re)define justice.
The guy is a mass-murderer, some things are black and white, permitting him to receive a hero's welcome is yet another injustice.

It's not hate.. it's the natural principle of Justice - without which there would only be chaos. Governments have an absolute right to avenge evil and protect their citizens. People have a right to be outraged if they feel justice was not served. In this case one can only hope that after he dies there will be justice.

(Before you flag wavers start telling me to leave the US if I don't like it, I happen to love this country and scrutiny and criticism doesn't change that)

Before you get too righteous, why don't you read up on the history of William Walker and how his legacy had a direct effect on US policy in Nicaragua in the 70's and 80's? My point is that a country doesn't have to plant a flag to practice imperialism......in this case, economic imperialism.

Lockerbie Bomber traded for Drilling Rights
The British government decided it was “in the overwhelming interests of the United Kingdom” to make Abdelbaset Ali Mohmed al-Megrahi, the Lockerbie bomber, eligible for return to Libya, leaked ministerial letters reveal.
Gordon Brown’s government made the decision after discussions between Libya and BP over a multi-million-pound oil exploration
deal had hit difficulties. These were resolved soon afterwards.

As we find ourselves on or near the back side of the peak oil curve, we'll see more things like this and the Iraq invasion that are hard to reconcile with the "public good."
