Moral justification

This topic hits home to me, and when we were talking about this during class yesterday the only thing I could thing of was the year 1984, even though I wasn't born, it stil had a huge impact on me and my family. From June 3rd to June 6th 1984, the Indian soliders, under the command of Indira Ghandi, marched into the Golden temple (a holy place for Sikhs) in Punjab to remove the Sikhs from Punjab. This military operation led to the deaths of innocent men women and children that were at this holy place for a pilgrimage. Operation Bluestar, as this was called, was included in the Top 10 Political Disgraces by India Today magazine (Wikipedia).
Several months after this destruction,"Indira Gandhi was assassinated in the garden of her residence in Delhi. Two of the Indian prime minister's security guards, both Sikhs, shot her as she walked towards an early morning interview with Peter Ustinov, who was filming a British television documentary".(http://networkedblogs.com/p17716462) In this Article, you can see the people that are destroying the shops and factories of Sikhs, don't think they are doing anything wrong. Also in this article Rajiv Gandhi, Indira's son, explained the riots after the death of this mother as "When a great tree falls, the earth shakes,".
The body guards that killed Indira Gandhi justified their actions because she gave the order to kill men Sikhs inside their holy land. Also Rajiv Gandhi justified the riots after the death of this mother as something that had to happen because they Sikhs killed the Indian Prime minister. Both sides are morally justified, and both parties and happy with their actions.
