My point is that the people specifically mentioned, the traffickers of child sex slavery and their customers, are almost certainly aware that what they are doing is wrong, and thus we would not be forcing morality on them if we were to try and stop them.
You point seems to be that you think they believe they are right. I strongly disagree.

Again, you point out exactly what I'm trying to say. Killing a human being is universally wrong, yet you are allowing it to be excused in our above statement.
I don't know if they believe what they are doing is wrong. I can't say that with 100% accuracy. I did in my travels have people ask me to go with them to small villages in Asia so that they could find young girls 13-16, families happy to take in the income for the sale of sex with their child as that amount of money could be sometimes what they made in a whole year which could feed and educate some of the other children. I never did go with them on the excursions, and afterwards curtailed my business with them, but still again, judging family intentions, I am unable to.
