I think "an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, a life for a life" is one thing most cultures can find fair. It remains, as it was in Hammaurabi's day, the lowest common denominator of justice.

Anyone euphemistically calling the suicide bombers "martyrs" is obviously not in it for justice or fairness, though.
