My mind just does not want to believe that aggression in defense of humanitarian causes can never be justified.  It is easy to accept the premise that aggression in defense of humanitarian causes is a concept that can and is abused.  It is going to take me a while to digest part 2.<\/p>\n<p>Anything that is that challenging is probably worth the time to consider.  At least it is when presented by a person who attempts to discuss it rationally.
