Why punish people? That&#x27;s not a goal, not a moral value or something anyone should have a desire to do.<p>The goal is peace. It has to be peace. You might never reach that goal entirely but you can try and you want people that ensure peace exists and people that restore it once it has been violated.<p>Quite clearly exerting vengeance through the justice system is not the best way to achieve that goal, in fact it&#x27;s obviously by far the worst.
