80. That and
All of that and more no one hardly ever mentions the moral dimension of our actions. Who the hell gave us the right to impose- and yes I said impose- any form of government on any other sovereign nation? All of the rationalizing about the definition of this that and the other starts to sound to my ears very like the moral relativism the conservatives are said to despise and just dressed up versions of the end justifies the means.Since the good christians of this christian nation don't seem to be inclined to invoke the needless deaths of literally uncounted numbers of innocent iraqis I say we stick up for them. I'm an agnostic and would be a full on atheist if it weren't for my desire to be consistent in demanding empirical evidence for the positions I take on things.And that said I think of- was it Jefferson's statement that he trembles for his country when he considers that the deity is just?Out now.
