the executioner injected with cyanide the retarded man who had unwittingly killed his boss
in an unconscionable act of violence

the president declared war, invaded the country, and deposed its dictator
because he had weapons of mass destruction and was willing to use them

accused of breaking international law for inhuman treatment of civilians

with their full military might
the soldiers razed the city suspected of harboring insurgents who had committed a car bombing
in an appalling act of violence
