Beyond the issue of war and the rightness/wrongness of that I am still considering the vast number of people in my life who have done terrible and wonderful things in their lives. I agree with this: "the moment he committed the bad act, he is bad. In the moment he commits the good, he is good". This is the essence of my argument. It also links in with the "Bad mother/Good mother" discussion. Neither exists beyond the moment.... and every moment has extenuating circumstances. A moral compass is very important, I totally agree with that. It's something that can be assessed.... but people do change.
