Al, I guess the Civil War was an example of good vs. evil, right vs. wrong. Decades of negotiating between legal slavery and abolition went nowhere (even during Lincoln's first term), mainly because it ultimately made no sense to "negotiate" the basic rights of a human being.

Too bad that in this post-modern age, the very concept of good vs. evil is considered obsolete. Terrorists could bring down skyscrapers, yet many people still won't call them "evil." Or they think said terrorism can be negotiated away. How do you negotiate with those whose starting point is your death?
