Yes, learn to live with it! No limits! Full power to the rulers! Accept Hitler's Holocaust since he perceived Jews as a threat to society! Accept Stalin't gulag since it was necessary to preserve communism!

No, I am pointing out to you the extreme consequence of not drawing a absolute limit.

That's why cultures and societes makes some absolute standards, to not allow the rulers to simply justify their actions with "it was necessary".

That's the kind of argument people usually use when they are out of words, meaning they have no sensible counterarguments. I know I am touching a sensitive spot, but it is a spot that is necessary to touch a lot of times to solve these problems. No real peace in the Middle East and no real coordinated War on Terror is going to come until ordinary Americans and ordinary moslems put pressure on their leaders on these issues.
