""that the hurt feelings of the relatives of the victim are less important than the feelings of the relatives of the convicted.""

No Robo! Never LESS important, but perhaps the feelings of Megrahi's family are still of SOME importance, when their family member has such a short time left, and would it not be better for the souls of those who suffered, if they showed the mercy that their loved ones did not receive.

Is it ever a good thing to set oneself down to the level of him who has no moral compass, and if one does so, just what IS the difference between US and THEM?

That, for me, is the argument against the desire for vengeance.
