I was just pointing out the fact that linking oneself to a strict set of morals is open to debate - while the example is extreme, it is a valid one.
Simplicity of thought does not equate to correctness or logical consistancy.
It would be simplistic to equate Bush to Hitler (or Bin Ladin), however, that is what must happen when you measure things using the ruler of absolute morality. I'm sure neither Hitler nor Bin Ladin would describe themselves as liberal or amoral. They DO pass the absolute morality test - it just points out that the morality test is a silly one to use because it logically throws up absurdities.
