As defined by the dictionary evil, in this context, means "Morally bad or wrong; wicked: an evil tyrant." So I suppose a nation can be evil if it can be said to be morally bad or wrong. The catch, at least from my perspective, is who decides on the morals we use to decide if a person or nation is morally bad? From the point of view of the US Saddam clearly met the definition of evil. Its equally clear though that some Arab nations and sizeable number of Moslem devotees view the US as the evil entity in this equation. I think the best we can say is that a person or country is evil from a given moral perspective.

Roanan I was commenting on the word evil in this thread...
I was saying

Renegade 13. by the def'n of evil in this thread.

USA is evil . The war of ideology / economy cost millions of peoples lives, proped up dictators, overthrown popular movements.

Ah, I had misunderstood this one, Tesco.
By Bush's own definition of evil, of course he is. Now I wonder if he will attack himself, go to Guantanamo, and let himself treat in violation of any international laws concerning the treatment of POWs.

Amen. I want to see GWB at the least sent to the Hague where he can have Milosovic as a cellmate. And maybe the bulk of his administration should go with him.

Sorry BARON, I do NOT agree with you.
And don't understand me wrong, I'm against GWB.

But I life in Holland (The Hague lies in Holland as you probably know). And The U.S. signed a bill 2 years ago (7 june - 2002) to invade every country where American military personal is kept in prisson for war-crimes, And they we're absolutly refering to Holland.

I'm laughing about it but believe me it's no joke, I'm death serious.

From here, can't say if it's a manipulated notice, but make fun about this matter, when many people died for this reason (if we admit the President's good faith), doesn't seems right to me.
