You're pretty childish. You can't control yourself, can you?
Anyway, you cannot just palm off responsibility for your actions because you had "good intentions". In reality, it does not matter what was going on inside your head. Yes, you may be fighting for "justice", but do you think the innocent people you kill would care about your thoughts?
Moral distinction is a person who's willing to put aside his own personal goals (such as winning a war or spreading his notion of "freedom") in order to protect those who need it most. Just because you have a good idea for the future and you're at war with some bad people, it isn't a green light to do whatever you want. If you consider it is, you're about as shallow and block headed as a boulder in a puddle, and you're definately no better than your enemy, the "unjust".
The day people take responsibility for their actions, what they intentionally did, ... I doubt it'll ever come. People are naturally pretty selfish and incapable of thinking of others.
It's when you put words and and idolized concepts aside and only view the actions of the people involved, nothing else. It's almost impossible to determine a morally sound side in recent wars, including all of Americas; I mean, they've carried out all the same deeds as their enemies did, the only difference is the words they put behind it. But actions speak louder than words, I think, and a moral force will not harm the innocent, even if it means defeat. |
