John >I am equally amazed that others reason that one can be casually relieved of any moral responsibility for their actions by the 'i was only following orders' claim Buy yourself this book: "Obedience to authority" by Stanley Milgram. Many second hand copies are available at this site dogbert.abebooks.com Until you have read this book you will not fully understand the problem. Milgram, then a psychology Professor at Yale, proved that, unless people are prepared to disobey authority, Holocausts and genocide will be committed again and again, just as we are now witnessing. Like Persig's book, this was a seminal read in my life.
