I *hate* the word bad guy...

Especially when it pertains to war vernacular. (I'm not talking about any specific war either, I just mean war in general.) While I may not agree with one side or another views, does that mean their "cause" is any less just in their eyes? Yes, I do agree that there have been times when a side is so seemingly misguided that they are viewed by a majority as wrong. And something should be done. But I don't think they should be labeled bad guy. Just because someone is wrong, or misguided or what have you, doesn't make them intrinsically bad. It just makes them wrong, or misguided. I honestly don't think anyone is bad or evil, they just do bad or evil things. Who are we to say they're bad? Is their sense of duty any less then ours? Call them the enemy, as it pertains to war, whoever be against you is thy enemy. But don't call them a bad guy. People will always live up to what you label them.
