A man I respect took me to task yesterday for my bold stance in support of Pr. Obama. My reply: "The INSTANT I conclude that Pr. O PREFERS, not abhors, such policies (drones, targeted killing, Guantanamo, deportations, fracking, TPP, Israeli Extermination of Gaza...) I'll be his most strident opposition. Dietrich Bonhoeffer abhorred killing... but set his life's course to murder Hitler. Yes, the targets in these cases differ but the core moral dilemma is the same - striving for the impossible - how to be 'good' in a near totally, totally, totally, totally, totally... evil world."
