I've never really bought into this whole "high ground" thing in regards to combatants in a war. War is a dirty business. There's no such thing as a good, clean war.Originally posted by: tss4
Sure, but I don't think its unfair to say that if we condone this action, we will have lost some of the high ground.
I didn't say that our actions validate theirs, I said that our actions contribute (in a small way) towards validating thiers. I think that accuaretly addresses degrees of seperation. Sure, its not the same thing, but it certainly doesn't help.
Its just wrong, no matter what the enemy does. We're better than that.
Besides, we are using the actions of very small and selet groups of people on both sides to define moral high ground. That's kind of myopic. If we want to determine a moral high ground, let's look at the overall and then compare. imo, in that case, we are on the same moral high ground as everyone else.
