It does make sense Rictor, I guess I just get annoyed, I suspect that the Spanish Inquisition, apart from a few sick people, actually knew at some level that what they were doing was morally 'wrong'. The same situation occurs here, Any American soldier that tortures/beats a prisoner, any American seargent that orders the torture/beats of prisoners, any American senator who knowingly passed orders to torture/beat these people did so knowing it was morally the wrong thing to do. Equally so, any Iraqi who tortures and mrders an American, any Iraqi leader who orders the torture or murder of an American etc is also doing so fully aware that what he is doing is morally wrong.
As Setekh said earlier, the creation of something in the name of 'Good' will all too often get twisted, good intention by good intention into something terrible. This is as true of Religion as of countries, if not, more so, since Religions have a larger common denominator, and a focus of manipulation already available.
I suppose I should remember the Pratchett Rule more often :-
The IQ of a mass of people = The IQ of it's stupidest member / 2
I suppose I just feel utterly frustrated at the supidity of it all, the invasion, the occupation, the retalliation, the counter-attack, the pre-emptive strikes etc etc etc So the roll-call goes for both sides. It looks utterly moronic, stupid and pointless, with people of all colours and religions being killed, in my opinion, over animals that themselves died millions of years ago. Death for death.
Please feel free to read Murder as 'Execute' and Beat as 'Actively Interrogate' as you see fit
