RJ over at Bark/Bite calls shennanigans on the hypocrisy of denouncing murder, torture, and general mayhem, then turning around and engaging in the very same heinous behavior.
If we can’t at least pretend to distinguish ourselves from our enemies, why would we expect the rest of the world to do so?
Why, indeed? The logical next question is, if we are going to behave in the same manner as those whose actions we’ve denounced, then what the hell is our point? What are we hoping to accomplish? And how do we think we’re going to accomplish it, when we’ve forfeited the moral high ground?
