The eye of the beholder argument is morally repugnant because it allows barbarities to be committed in the name of whatever cause is being embraced. I assume you mistyped since a moral judgment cannot stop "barbarities" from taking place. But it can judge them. And I assume that was your point. The problem is with the term "barbarities" given the sentence you've offered. We've just beat this topic to death so I make only one point. The inhabitants of Dresden are certain to have considered the bombing of innocent civilians to be a "barbarism." They could not have thought otherwise. I genuinely do not wish to go back over this turf. I'm not even certain how we got to this point. Why don't you do a reply and then let's skip to something else.
