"in order for their to be evil, you need someone to judge it evil and attack back"

In order to judge an action as hurtful it requires that one be hurt. Hurting someone is not always evil; but evil always hurts.

"Right, of course we are both part of the process... that's my point."

I don't know what you mean? I am no more brutal than I am African or five foot two.

"like GW Bush running into the ME, he's compelled to do so, it's fine.

I disagree. His nature is to evaluate alternatives that address his desire to express certain values. He is not coerced by outside forces--and it is nonsensical to say he is coerced by his own nature.
