Justice?

The chemicals released following an explosion at Union Carbide, Bhopal on December 3, 1984 killed around 20000 people and injured 200,000 others. This is common knowledge.What is not so universally known is that Warren Anderson who was the head of the company during this event is a fugitive living blissfully. Where else? The United States of course which believes in protecting its citizens even if they are wanted criminals in other countries. Mr. Anderson did not comply with warrants issued by the Indian authorities. Union Carbide has repeatedly refused in the past to disclose his whereabouts. The U.S authorities required him to appear before a court in that country. He went into hiding almost immediately after the summons was issued and the U.S authorities have conveniently not been able to find him. He is reported to be living in luxury in the state of New York. Despite of knowing about the potential hazards through a 1982 safety audit the plant was not sanitized into being risk proof. But the company’s plant in the U.S was fixed. After escaping from jail in India and fleeing back to the U.S Anderson has repeatedly absconded from justice.Despite India requesting the U.S in 2003 for his extradition to our country the U.S authorities have done nothing. I suspect our own government has not pursued this strongly enough. So while George.W.Bush is willing to sidestep international laws, spend billions as part of his war on terror, he harbors a rich American wanted for what essentially resulted in genocide due to negligence. Sometimes I feel that America deserves 9/11 and many more such events, to get a taste of its own medicine. In what way is the life of my countrymen lesser than that of the people, mostly American,who died on 9/11?
