A Belief In Moral Absolutes Should Always Make Us More, Not Less, Critical Of Both Sides In Any Conflict. This Doesn't Mean That Both Sides Are Equally Wrong; It Means That Since We All Fall Short Of Moral Perfection, Even The Side Whose Cause Is Truly Righteous May Commit Terrible Acts Of Violence In Defense Of That Cause -- And, Worse, May Feel Quite Justified In Committing Them. That Is The Difference Between Being Righteous And Being Self-righteous. Moral Standards Are Absolute; But Human Fidelity To Them Is Always Relative.
