Romania's Anti-Corruption Mania - NY TIMES

I've read this article and my reaction to it is, wtf??

"Romania’s democratic development would be better served by a public process whereby past misdeeds were acknowledged, documented and then forgiven."

WTF??

What do you guys think of this article?

Should the corrupted people who stole millions of euro (or more) from people's taxes be simply "forgiven"? Should politicians who refused to provide money for hospitals to have the necessary tools and closed other hospitals in order for themselves to gain more money (from the taxes that would've been sent to them), should they be forgiven? Should politicians who've been keeping the teachers and hospitals of the public institutions on miserable salaries, while they were voting in the parliament for higher pay for themselves and were practicing corruption as a norm, be simply forgiven?

And is this really a MANIA (i.e. bad insistence) for justice, or it is normal? From what you read, do you see the justice system like another form of dictatorship?

How would you evaluate the possibility that the justice system might be sloppy about judging the politicians and businessmen and thus throw even innocents to jail? Whom or what would you support / thrust?

P.S. I'd like to add another comment...

"Romanians now view the legion of hasty convictions as a misguided attempt to impress America."
--- WTF???

WHO THE FUCK is writing such conclusions about us?? Do those guys at least TALK to any one of us who supports the Justice system??

Those of us who are not that retardedly naive to think like "Uh, why do we need justice anyway?" or "Why should the politicians be investigated for possible crimes they might be doing? Certainly they're all angels and would NEVER do anything selfish and would NEVER break the laws and they ALWAYS aim for highest moral values and for TRUE righteousness!" Those of us who are not retarded, so as to think like that, we don't want to IMPRESS any american or german or british or whatever! It's rather the feeling of having been and of being a victim of all those thieves / mafia and the SHAME that while in countries like UK or Germany or France or USA you have a certain standard of life, (almost) everything here goes like shit, and that because of too many parasites (corrupted people + the Church) and their naive retards who trust in them!

And besides, drawing a line of "okay, what crimes were done to this point should be forgiven, now we should start again!" cannot POSSIBLY work. And that's because the crimes and corruption flow continuously, like water, so people who've been stealing and using all kinds of illegal methods (bribes, tax evasion, blackmail, etc.) will CONTINUE doing this way, because these kinds of things became a natural behavior / a mentality to them.

Sorry... I feel a bit emotionally charged & frustrated about that NY Times article.
