"The never-give-an-inch vice president concluded: The invasion was 'the right thing to do' and 'if we had it to do all over again, we'd do exactly the same thing.'
This may sound strange coming from me, but I do believe that that whole nasty bunch in the administration are good people. They _want_ to do good. And they are nobly committed to pursuing that perceived good. It's just that someone has done them the distinct disservice of having reset their moral compass.
They bought the marketing. They're the labor.
I would like to operate from the assumption that people naturally want to do good. No one sets about to do evil. Everyone pursues the "good thing," as they conceptualize it. And as a species, I think humanity would necessarily have a fairly common conception of The Good.
But through brain malfunction or by resetting of this moral compass, the organism will act in a way as to achieve some other state. I suppose that if you market it properly, you can reset anyone's moral compass such that they become an unwitting agent in dogged pursuit of The Non Good.
