Doris: You raise an interesting question re: good verses evil. What I am reminded of, however, is that placing a value on something being good or evil is a matter of perspective. Even though we view the acts of Al-Qaeda as being very evil, we must know that for them they are right from their perspective. It seems to me passion follows belief that what you are doing is right, even holy. This is perhaps the scariest part of this whole thing. How do we deal with those whose hatred is so justified in their minds? This is not a situation a few bombs will correct. This is a long term and very painful process it appears. So to weigh in on the question of can OS be used for evil, the answer is yes. Because for those who use it as such, their passion surrounds what they believe is just.
