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.

I certainly agree with much of what you say, particularly with regards to the self-absorbed narcissism of the baby boom generation and the society that they have wrought. Furthermore, I do try to see things in terms of black and white (recall that my original post on this thread was about moral absolutes). Having said that, if one truly wants to try to see things as they really are, sans any gray area, one needs to keep in mind that we cannot possibly know what's on another man's heart. I find little, if any, disagreement with you when you state the anti-war movement empowers evil. I merely think that your blanket implication is that all persons in the anti-war movement are enablers of evil is incorrect...not by much, mind you, but there are a handful of exceptions, and to dismiss a Ron Paul with the same casual regard as Cindy Sheehan is in fact, to muddy the water and fail to see matters in the clarity of black and white.
