"... you cry and wail and whinge about torture, bemoan America's decline into the dark, immoral abyss of treating bad people poorly, and then when a Predator drops a few tons of ordinance on cowering Afghan civilians, an action sanctioned and promoted by your precious Obama, you do cartwheels trying to rationalize, and then, awash in tears, apoloigise for it... you really need reminding that power is full of dangers and wars are ugly and consequent brutalities are the direct and indirect provenance of the prosecuting agent?... your morality is the cowardice of easy answers... at least, that's what Nietzsche might say were he alive today, in the throes of a syphilitic mind-rut and asked to comment on the controversy regarding American policy towards illegal combatants...
