I don't think doing monstrous things is ever okay. But it seems more understandable when it is done out of sheer desperation and fear, rather than greed. Does this make any sense? Human beings are capable of great good and great evil. Evil is still evil no matter the reason, but I know that on a micro scale rather than a macro scale, I am more likely to do things I believe to be wrong (and I think most people fall short of their ethical goals from time to time) when I am afraid of something terrible.
And Bush says yada yada yada, but not only do I not believe him, I don't believe he believes him, either.
