This chapter discusses the moral confusion surrounding the distinction between collateral damage in necessary wars and intentional acts of violence. It explores the difficulty in distinguishing between those who unintentionally kill noncombatants while defending themselves and those who intentionally torture and kill innocent people as a religious sacrament. The chapter also highlights the dangers of supporting the wrong side and being dangerously confused about moral norms and political sympathies.
