"When we use flawed thinking to implement flawed means for achieving a flawed purpose, should we be surprised when all the flaws of human beings come to the surface and the results are horrendously flawed?"

I'm Confused.  Is the above a quote from somebody else, or is it your own words?  'Cuz I couldn't find it in the article you linked.
Addeenul �Aql � Religion is intellect.

With more than 700 comments already, it can be a bit hard to track down.  For the record, here is the link: http://www.nytimes.com/2015/04/14/us/ex-blackwater-guards-sentenced-to-prison-in-2007-killings-of-iraqi-civilians.html?_r=1#permid=14700838

Unfortunately, that is the whole text of Steve's comment, so it doesn't help me to understand exactly what he meant.
