But evil is the grey area! The Brits considered it evil that the Americans would snipe their soldiers. The honorable way to fight a man was to meet him face-to-face on the field of battle and have at it. Could we consider the IEDs to be evil devices? Or not because they are used on American military personnel, an occupying force. How about the Germans in WWII? Were they all evil? No. Some killed for evil, but they didn't realize that at the time. Was Mai Lai evil or just terrified soldiers taking out their aggression or a usually uncontrollable situation? One man's Irgun is another man's Hezbollah is another man's IRA is another man's UFF ... The deliberate targeting of civilians is usually evil, but sometimes justified such as Hiroshima. It's an open question. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:213410 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
