HuffPo: On Moral Relativism

Wow, I never expected to read this on the Huffington Post. It's weird, but I'm occassionally coming across some good stuff over there. Here's a quick taste of the snark:

When faced with something truly evil, like Karl Rove's leak, it's easy. Call for the bastard's head. But what about terrorists - or “bombers” - as the BBC calls them? That's a tough one, because although what the bombers did was bad - OUR country does some pretty bad things too! And really, who's to say what's bad anyway? That's judgmental. And being judgmental is wrong. Unless you're a judge. And even then that's probably not right either. Who's to say? Not me. Probably not even a judge! Judges aren't cool!

If it weren't incredibly stupid, it'd be funny, I suppose. Thing is, I don't remember anyone outside of assorted pacifists that didn't want to nail the terrorists. By and large, they just didn't think invading a country that had little to nothing to do with the problem of terrorism was the best way to deal with the problem.

But tell us what you really think...

Unfortunately, as the author of the piece points out, many of these arguments are being waged in the wake of the London attacks, and not just by "assorted pacifists."
