Very few people see themselves as a bad guy. We want to see ourselves as heroes in the storyline of our lives. The person we see as a terrorist views themselves as avengers of righteousness and protectors.

Who exactly are these "good people" worthy of judging who should live an who should die? There sure are a lot of people out there with God complexes.
