    Doing bad things to make the world a better place is an oxymoronic sentence.

      I hate to do the Godwins Law but the Allies have brought down death and destruction to the reign of the Third Reich. Sherman let loose the dogs of war on the South to bring freedom to the slaves. I believe we all know that they brought good outcomes.

        Who started those conflicts? Cause it wasn’t the allies or Sherman. Reacting to bad is not the same as doing bad.

            In what world is preventing authoritarian governments from expanding their power and committing genocides, or fighting to free slaves, doing bad things? Those conflicts were started by someone else doing bad things, and the reaction was to stop those people from continuing to do bad things.
