U.S. Bombs Kill Iraqi Children, Arab Anger Rises
Tue April 1, 2003 11:57 AM ET


By Nadim Ladki
BAGHDAD (Reuters) - More Iraqi children died when U.S. bombs hit a residential area in central Iraq and checkpoint killings of civilians by nervous U.S. troops fired Arab anger on Tuesday.

The latest deaths in an overnight raid on the town of Hilla were bound further to damage U.S. efforts to win Iraqi hearts and minds -- an undertaking ridiculed by Baghdad's authorities and which U.S. officers admit is proving harder than expected.

Obviously evil is a synonym for moral depravity. You are another who cannot recognize it.

Do you not understand what you read???

What is being said here is not that he (or X) is incapable of distinguishing right/wrong ("evil/good", if you prefer) but that these concepts are different for everybody.

Do you understand it now?

In this light, a lot of people think Bush and America are evil. You think Saddam and Iraqi regime are evil.

Claiming that evil is in the eye of the beholder is a cop-out designed to justify evil behavior.

Unfortunately for your argument, and for yourself, that is just what it is.
