No Yuri, Now What?

Balian: Take the horse, and be about your business.
Imad: This is your prize of battle! I am your prisoner--your slave--should you wish it!
Balian: I have been a slave, or very near to one. I will never keep one, nor suffer any to be kept. Go.
Imad: The man you killed was a very great cavalier among the Muslims. His name was Mummad al Fais. 
Balian: I will pray for him.
Imad: Your quality will be known among your enemies...before you ever meet them, my friend.

After the Mueller Report was released last weekend, which revealed no Yuri, many Republicans wish to turn the guns around (quite literally in the case of government) on political partisans, including both government officials and their media lackeys, who precipitated this bogus investigation. Such a turnabout seems fair and reasonable under the circumstances.

However, there is also an argument for letting it go. It is possible, for example, that many people who motivated the Mueller investigation suffer from a psychosis that they are having trouble shaking. Seeking retribution does not seem a constructive mechanism for helping those who may be struggling.

The Lenten season teaches mercy and forgiveness--even toward staunch enemies.

Imagine this. A group of political partisans who had the opposition party in their sights for an easy public take-down refuse to pull the trigger. Instead of re-engaging in another round of combat with its enemies, the group walked away and prayed for the opposition.
