Either way you get some, everything else is semantics really
We're all going to die some day so let's all get our AK47's out. Why waste time with
You see my point?
Yes I see your point, but your point is from an individual standpoint. Morality is nice but the world is not run on kittens and lollypops. Tough problems call for tough solutions and empires are not taking a nice girl out for dinner; they are making a mark on the world. It's a special mentality that you will not understand, only the motivated are true to it's cause.
That is not a "individual standpoint", that's taking responsibility.
If I vote for a moron (and Dubya is a bit slow) and his actions (invading innocent countries and killing innocent civilians) provoke somebody into activating a nuclear device I should at least take some blame for it.
Otherwise there is no point in elections in democracy. Get a dictator and bomb countries 24/7. You'd save money&time on elections.
Hitler had that down. No semantics. Just gas chambers.
