Faith, I am not 'making a moral equivalence'. You were stating a principle, and I merely showed that this principle does not hold up as a universal truth. That means, you claimed that the US has good motives in general, I am saying that good motives are not enough to determine if the actions are actually good.
Do you disagree with my point? Or would you rather not discuss the matter and just call me names (moral relativists).
By the way, why do you start talking about 'The Left' or 'communist world' in a reply to me? Do you know more about me than I do?
So, back to the original question, I am not making a moral equivalence. I am challenging merely challenging the fact that having a good motive is a good excuse for the consequences of a specific action.
