Am I misunderstanding one of your posts or is this just one of those things?

I think my viewpoint is grounded in reality. In theory it may feel good to pretend that the means doen't justify the ends but in the real world feel good theory doesn't always work. Liberals tend to get upset when things don't fit into their feel good theories. For example there was a thread on the UN, Bolton and diplomacy. In theory using diplomacy you create "win-win" situations where everyone feels good. In reality there are winners and losers. The liberal resonse to this reality was an emotionally charged response about Bolton's personality rather than the issues at the UN.
