That is indeed Scott's problem; it is incorrect to attempt to be
evenhanded between genocidal homicide bombers and the authorities
who target them in order to protect their own citizens. One cannot be
objective and eithical, and at the same time be morally neutral to the
difference. Dace's problem is that he is a terrorist sympathizer, who
attempts to rationalize such intentional acts of naked genocide.
