That's actually the big issue, in my view beetnemesis Send a noteboard - 02/05/2011 07:48:06 PM
The excuse we give for acting as we do in foreign matters is often that we're fighting for freedom, or democracy, or peace, or to save people. That moral high ground can vanish if we're not careful, and then it just turns into "We're doing this because we want to."
