obviously justice and forgiveness operate on two different planes but i think a parrallel can be drawn. I also think that you are assuming way too much by saying this man cannot do what he has done in forgiving the slim that killed his wife. He may feel exactly as you do as to what he is forgiving. He is being quoted in the media, and from that you cannot assume to know his heart and mind on this subject. In saying that he forgives the slim for killing his wife it is perfectly reasonable to assume that he is possibly only forgiving the slime for the affect that his actions have had on him.

You are absolutely right -- that is a very good point.
