Let's not forget that the Roman Empire was not without its atrocities in the name of the Greater Good.
Bad often has to be done so that More Bad for More People won't happen.
And before we catigate Europe, let's not forget that there are a substantial number of sectarian and ethnic minority/majority tensions even inside of the Muslim governed world. No one is without blood on their hands.
- gkya 11y ago> No one is without blood on their hands. I concur. I just picked the side of the rather-under-represented. Neither am I a Rome or Ancient Greece fan. > Bad often has to be done so that More Bad for More People won't happen. Bad will always bring more bad with it. You can try to kill all the muslims, you'll end up with another terrorist sect, just from a different religion. Or you'll terrorise other moderate muslims, should you not be able to kill them all, and make them into terrorists. A vicious cycle of violence is only broken via virtue.
- ethbro 11y ago> Bad will always bring more bad with it Eh, we'll agree to disagree there. Find me some good in this world that isn't backed by bad somewhere in history, and I'll show you a situation where pacifist lives could have been saved with a more aggressive approach.
