It's ok though, because those we now support are fighting against a common foe, a huge and terrifying force that threatens our very way of life.

Wait a minute... I'm sure I've heard that before...

Hopefully this time things will be done a little differently, and we don't just forget about the situation after the job is 'done'. Clearly this policy has not worked in the past.

Yes, when you have a need or opportunity to ally either with a group that is 95% pure evil and another group that is 90% pure evil....

no matter which one you choose, you'll be held accountable for it later.

If even picking one or the other allows some good to be done.

That's how it works.. d*mned if you do, d*mned if you don't.

It's sooooo easy.
