Deciding Between Good and Evil
(Jerusalem Post) Carolyn Glick - Last month at a lecture I gave at Tel Aviv University on my experiences with the U.S. Army's 3rd Infantry Division during the Iraq war, some students were appalled when I argued that journalists must be able to make moral distinctions between good and evil when such distinctions exist. "Who are you to make moral judgments? What you say is good may well be bad for someone else," they asked. "I am a sane human being capable of distinguishing good from evil, just like every other sane human being," I answered. "As criminal law states, you are criminally insane if you can't distinguish between good and evil. Unless you are crazy, you should be able to tell the difference."
