One Crime that Politician Would Not be Penalized
By: Vicheka Lay
For a politician, his or her decision does boast to extensive influences and sometimes globally. This is one of the reasons that our world is just flowing on the stream of the decisions made by our national, regional and world politicians. And until now, I have never seen any politician who has never been criticized during his or her office mandate. I am not supporting any politician in the world or of my own country, but “making heartfelt truth revealed” is my philosophy.
Law is originally enacted to bring justice and to a more specific aspect: to make this world a truly human world, but up to the present, has such the pioneering mindset been attained? I dare to say not yet and we even need much more time and industry to make the law more just.
I see that the law is not just, because sometimes it favors the culprit and sometimes it sides with the victim. The purpose and scope of this article is bring in one opinion that would makes our law; municipal and international, more just; today or tomorrow. So what is that opinion?
“Politician would not be penalized for his or her patriotic heart.” One ultimate reason that a person is able to climb to the national leadership stage is his/her patriotism. Patriotism means any activity, measure, path, idea that the leader takes; single-mindedly, to bring good faith to his or her own citizens, dead citizens, nature, animals, marine lives, in-land and air territory, concrete and abstract heritages and finally, his or her country’s image on the world map.
However, some patriotic policies have steered the leader criminal against humanity, against nature, against religion or even against animal. To me, the leader’s original heart: patriotism is totally eliminated during his or her trial is being heard. He or she is judged of only the result produced by himself or herself together with other advisors.
I would sum up my article into two phrases; “if leader’s genuine and heartfelt patriotic policy be converted into crime, that leader would be acquitted.”
However, I totally and unconditionally oppose any patriotic policy that involves killing people, even one person, animals and nature.
