Good and bad, in action
"'What I need most now is someone who can say this is a good guy and this is a bad guy,' said Marine Col. Stephen W. Davis, who commands all the troops in Regimental Combat Team 2 in the city."
"U.S. forces returned to Haditha less than two months after they thought they cleaned up the Euphrates River town. But insurgents assassinated the police chief and devastated his force more than a month ago, leaving Haditha without a security force.
. . .
"Insurgents have warned city residents against cooperating with the Americans. Earlier this month insurgents paid a bold visit to the local radio station and threatened the manager against broadcasting U.S. military messages. City leaders have also kept their distance. The local government denies insurgents are in the city and, as of Thursday, had not asked for a meeting with the military since operations began, Urquhart said. "
I don't think that there is a recognition of the same meanings of "good" and "bad." Or the application of "good" and "bad" to particular things. Where is God when you need God?
