I have only heard one American woman on the radio (BBC), on several occasions, very emotionally claiming that compassion was only to be given to those who were themselves compassionate, that she felt pity for her husband, another of her family, and herself, and that, as a Jew, she could not be expected to forgive Hitler. She gave the impression that justice was always a nasty and vicious thing and should never be tempered with mercy. She was only one voice, and I have heard no other Americans except quotes from Clinton and a few other officials. Not balanced.
