Retribution has precedence over vengeance in the
hierarchy of tribal and sectarian verities where it is
justice that motivates the need to exact proportionate
punishment to the deed, not a rooted custom in the
pursuit of honour. And so it is that a people whose
culture is vested in survival and justice metes out
the ultimate penalty for mass slaughter embarking
on a journey to extinguish the lethal malice that
mutilated, raped and murdered its own in a
maelstrom of sadistic savagery whose depraved
depth sent an entire population into deep mourning
and their leaders to launch a conflict whose intent
was to destroy the living threat that would return
until its resources were exhausted. The formula
to exhaust those resources, to rout the threat and
extinguish the human agency of its prosecution
methodically proceeds, piece by piece as terrorist
infrastructure and the hate-demented tribe that
subscribes to its pursuit of mass death is eliminated
from all its underground dens of planned carnage and
from among its own vulnerable tribal coevals who
fall among them as sainted sacrificial sufferers.
