  Bryn Mawr Classical Review 1999.09.02
Revenges that failed or were interrupted made their appearance, as did ghosts, commanding divinities, skewed ceremonies, and female agents who took the place of males.
Revenge was still a basically heroic action, but the old dramaturgical problem, that it was "too orderly and too close to justice for the Dionysiac purpose," gave way to a new one as war-time changes in Athenian society caused it to become "too banal in its evident disruptiveness" (226).
On the contrary, she made clear her belief that revenge had become a moral problem for a refined fifth-century audience, and further that one of the ways tragic poets satisfied sophisticated theatrical taste was by drawing even greater attention to this problem, for example by giving a "dubious ethical quality" to the revenger.

 That winter the sisters would all have died of starvation but for the local Jewish merchants
The news of the expiry of three more sisters in 1842 (one, the 72-year-old Sr Seraphina, having expired at the thirtieth lash, had her corpse scourged until the sentence was completed) under the lash reached the ears of a general of the Russian occupation forces.

The principal rationale for the Bush administration's campaign to overthrow Saddam was that Iraq possessed weapons of mass destruction and might pass them along to terrorists.
If Iraq no longer had chemical and biological weapons, the primary justification for the war was erroneous, thousands of people died needlessly, and America's reputation will suffer a severe blow throughout the world.
Conversely, if Baghdad did have such weapons and passed them along to extremist organizations, the blowback from the military victory in Iraq could be more terrible than we wish to contemplate.
