Two kinds of morality

[Abu Suleyman]

For an interesting take on a similar issue, you should see Reinhold Niebuhr's Children of Darkness, Children of Light discussion. Riebuhr was a reformed Marxist, but a committed lefty for his entire life. He is the father of what we now call, "Christian Realism" and to the extent that a group reflects that foreign policy, or ethical, stance today it is -- ironically -- the Religious Right.
