Ojo por ojo

Frase de Kunio Hatoyama, el actual Ministro de Justicia Japonés defendiendo la pena de muerte en una entrevista en el periódico Weekly Asahi en Octubre:

"As the Japanese place so much importance on the value of life, it is thought that one should pay with one’s own life for taking the life of another. You see, the Western nations are civilizations based on power and war. So, conversely, things are moving against the death penalty. This is an important point to understand. The so-called civilizations of power and war are the opposite of us. From incipient stages, their conception of the value of life is weaker than the Japanese. Therefore, they are moving toward abolition of the death penalty".

Si alguien le encuentra sentido, que haga el favor de ponernos un tele-fax al respecto.
