No, it was clear to me. Thames was wrong in his apparent understanding that you were merely saying that the evil of Saddam's regime was not in actuality the sole reason for our invasion of Iraq.

Because it was actually because you think it is "inutile" to call Saddam, or anyone, or any acts, evil because first thing you know something else will be called evil, it will be used as an excuse for things one may not believe are evil, it's better therefore to be more neutral in characterizing his acts, putting the word evil in quotation marks, for example...etc.

But pssst, just between us non-policy makers who aren't taking Freshman Phil 101, I would be interested in an answer to the question I asked:

In just whose opinion is gouging out people's eyes and raping women in front of their husbands or beheading people or slicing out their tongues for criticism or dropping human beings into large versions of paper-shredders not evil?
