The CIA needs your help

Your turn.

anticipating your response... as per Patton... "A Cause that is not our Cause is bullshit!"

bookworm is right to have a very close look at this arguement
(SVW were you sober?)

it is the most common/powerful justification for all sorts of violence - one problem i see is that the defenseless and the killers are likely to be the same. just because you have a powerful ability to kill does not mean that another cannot kill you, paranoidly pulling the trigger ASAP.

similarly as your reference to patton suggests - the "good and evil" are really just the "us and them".
