"It is neither moral or religious to act as the empowers of evil."

IMHO, it is the ultimate vanity to assume God's role in determining what is, "moral or religious," but since you've apparently become the arbiter of such things, I would only say that many martyrs in the Christian tradition did not resist, struggle or protest against their executioners, but hardly empowered them. There are likewise, a small number of people who oppose the war, not because they have an aversion to violence or a love for moslems, but simply because the U.S. did not follow its own rules for going to war (i.e., Ron Paul, the Constitution Party). Again, these are the tiniest minority within the anti-war movement (and rarely, if ever have anything to do with the rest of the movement), but they are remaining intellectually and philosophically consistent, and can hardly be considered the enablers of evil.

We agree - see my comments.

It is not setting ones self up as an arbiter of anything to point out the painfully obvious logical flaw in the "reasoning" of pseudo intellectual moralists. This is an example of the pseudo intellectual arguments manufactures by the typical product of the Baby Boomer generation.

They think they are all so clever because they see everything as shades of grey. NO, actually it is a remarkable childish, stupid way of looking at the world. By refusing to see anything as evil, the spoiled brats of the Baby Boomer years authorize themselves to do as they wish when they wish. By refusing to see anything as it is, the Boomers rationalize their moral cowardice in refusing to get off their fat sanctimonious butts and confront it.

Evil exists. Just because the Baby Boomers are all too great moral cowards to see it, or do anything about it, does not make it go away.
