Damn Straight

"Evil is evil, bad behavior is bad behavior, and while differences in degree of evil or bad behavior are not excuses for it, it remains that such differences do exist. It is no crime or diminishment of crime to point out that Americans aspire to a higher standard than brutal tyrants and have generally met it. But further, this high standard of behavior applied to US forces and government actions should be applied to everyone, rather than ‘rationalizing’ and ‘equivocating’ away bad behavior from foreigners.’

From a post by Brian W. Doss, at Catallarchy, titled “Outrage’s Double Standard." Read the whole thing.

"Wrong does not cease to be wrong because the majority share in it." (Leo Tolstoy, Confessions)

Quote borrowed from On Truth and Reality, theology section.
