<if it could be expected to conflict with what could be

Then why didn't our pilots refuse to carpet bomb civilians in Hamburg, for example, during WWII? Because they were brainwashed into believing that the only good German was a dead one. Read George's post and become educated rather than reactionary. A reactionary, such as yourself, is easily "turned" in whatever direction the controlling power finds convenient. You are displaying anger because your logic is flawed and anger is a typical response rather than humility, i.e., admitting one's error in judgement.

I will ask you some questions:

Is there ultimate truth?
