"The Congressman’s Burden Resolutions have consequences. By Jason Lee Steorts
Occasionally the world reminds us that it is evil. I am not saying this in the obvious way, that the world is full of blood, death, arbitrary destruction, and gratuitous cruelty — though that is surely true. It is also true that such evils often allow reasonably precise moral reckoning, at least where human agency is concerned: If I murder you, I have committed an evil; if my nation wages an unjust war, it has committed an evil; and so on. Such cases are morally ambiguous when they turn on questions whose answers evade mere mortals: Did I kill you in self-defense? Did my nation wage war in response to an intolerable threat, and was war the only remedy? But the questions have right and wrong answers, and if we knew them we could assign blame with justice and precision."
