Sun Tzu teaches that our methods, that is what we do, must agree with our philosophy, that is, what we believe to be important. A disconnection between the two creates a logical weakness that opponents can, should, and will attack. Kerry is
now claiming that he believes that
life begins at conception. This is a statement of philosophy. However, he
says that abortion should be legal. His logic is that he cannot impose his philosophy on others. However, this creates a logical disconnection between philosophy and methods. Basically, he is saying he thinks that it is okay if other people kill
what are, in his view, other human beings, since, in their view, they are not
human beings. By this logic, it was okay for the Germans to kill the Jews
because the Germans didn't consider them
subhuman. Kerry
should also approve of terrorists killing non-Muslims, since the terrorists
view non-Muslims as
animals.
Strategically, the degree of moral relativism is an indefensible position.
