I agree, and it’s one of the reasons I love my country and despise our enemies.

But, I restate, the bar we set for ourselves does not get passed with debate, discussion, or even agonizing over things. We clear the bar when we act as who we say we are.

(I’m not lecturing you (really!), but I think this point gets lost a lot)

Absolutely, our conduct is the measure of our morality, on both a personal and national level. That we should debate first, and then do something horrendous second is in no way exculpatory.
