at the root of this is a disagreement over whether or not we are the good guys. As long as you think there is no conflict between good and evil in the world, then there will be no right side in a war. no cause worth fighting for, only two sides who can't see eye to eye. that's an environment in which dictatorships thrive and despots get a free ride, because they know they're not going to get any resistance.

or maybe you think we're more evil than they are, and that their car bombs and beheadings are no more questionable than our making prisoners wear panties on their head and calling them bad names.

and bigv, stop being a fucktard. it doesn't become you.
