I didn't contradict myself, my position is just less consistent than yours, in my view there are shades of gray, people can be partially evil and partially good. Maybe that is too complex for you.

I fully agree your view of the world is much more consistent:

- All Americans are good
- All terrorists, middle easterners, etc.. are bad

- Any time we kill middle easterners, it is good and right because we are good and they are evil

- Any time they kill any of us, it is wrong and evil because we are good and they are evil.

- Anything we do to manipulate their countries governments or economies is good because we are good, even if causes indirect harm to the people in those countries

- Anything they do that effects our economy or our government is evil because they are bad

If you look at things that way you can view everything the same way, not have to deal with any tough issues, and sleep easily.
