I'm not sure I can agree with the angle at large of the OP. Devil's advocate taken to understanding, I would say we are justified simply because we are justified. How are we justified in anything that we, as human, do? Cultural divides will always do just that, divide us. Animals, shpanimal! The same can be said for so many things we do. It's silly how a 16 year old girl being pregnant in the US is a socially outcastable offense, when 100 years ago, 16 years old was a more than normal age to be popping the first one out. At any rate, I can't have this debate without going off on too many tangents.
My basic belief. We do what we do because we can... and THAT is human nature.
