What one must be careful of is developing conclusions that do not follow from the premises. Ashcroft was one of the few who realized this errant logic, and did his best to correct it. There is a second danger that the sort of ideology you discuss facilitates. There is this idea that tragedy is entirely preventable. We can do our best to curtail violence, but to stop it entirely, without the express consent of every individual everywhere to refrain from violence, is so improbably as to be virtually impossible. The next best thing is to prosecute those who do commit crimes and, as the philosophers of old did, spur individuals on to seek 'the Good.'

Do they truly know, or are they just so adeptly focused for the sake of the "rush" of power. How deep do the intentions and the consciousness really go, I wonder.
