<<Evil is an internal condition,
Not entirely. Its carrier's intention is expressed through action and thus evil has extension. Evil exists in the social realm, it is information, and it and may be communicated through language and deed.>>

A neat discussion.

Is it evil to send US troops to fight in Iraq ? With the chance they may be killed.

If so, then is it evil to send firemen into action each day, to send policemen to arrest or kill armed villians every day, to move a factory 50 miles and subject the workers to much more risk in commuting?

IMO true evil is for people to declare a Jihad against
against all non-muslims and then move from intention to action as OBL did.
And to bring the most emotional force of Religion into the equation. The Irish and the Israelis are suffering from that.

Saddams treatment of his own people was evil.

Is the US an evil empire? That should be judged as to whether our efforts are beneficial long term to all humanity, whether we provide some semblance of stability to other nations, and keep the persistent evil forces at bay. Including some internal evil-makers.

And especially to clearly state our position on various matters so there is no confusion (or much less).

We intend to make certain the common Iraqi citizens get a chance to vote on their new government and officials despite the interference offered by a minority.
