All I said is that "evil is in the eye of the beholder", just think back to the crusader days. When the "good" christians were down in middle east bashing muslims because they have a different religion. (yes, that was us europeans)
I DID NOT STATE THAT OSAMA IS A GOOD GUY. But you will have to remeber that the US DID help him and his possy during the Afghanistan-Soviet war, and supplied him with knowledge, bombs and other weapons. At that point Osama was a good guy, but if you have asked the soviet, then they would have said that he was evil/terrorist. So who was right?
"generally do a decent job" ? How many innocent killed are acceptable? How many invaded countries are accepteable? "Duh, every 2 out of 3 countries we meddle in come out ok". I would not like to live in the country where you fail, ie kill or indeirectly kill innocent people.
If a company says that another country is evil, is it ok to invade it? (Remember the banan/fruit war in central america)
It is ok to state that "Im a good guy, and I dont have any thing to hide". But what if someone decides that using the work computer for personal things (like writting slashdot) is evil and must be punished. Its all down to the people with the information, they cant choose whats evil and wants not. Fine, they can have the info now, but you dont know what will happen in the future and who is going to missuse it?
