But Nick, your argument tantamount to moral relativism.
The alternative you appear to be suggesting to the above is that the United
States must occasionally openly engage in evil.
Otherwise if:
-evil exists in the world
-the US occasionally fights evil
-when the US fights evil, it is engaging in "good"
-In these cases, the US will be open about the fact that it is working
for
"good"
And of course, as Dan Minette pointed out, Bush has allowed for the fact
that, for example, the Pope disagrees with US policies, but is not working
for the forces of evil.
