Gene-
"But, total number of people (Intellectual SpoVs) throughout Asia, US, and
former USSR who benefited from the drop highly exceeds the number of
victims thus making overall good outcome."
This sounds a little utilitarian for my tastes. Claiming the the MoQ
endorses whatever creates the most "good" for the greatest number of people
doesn't make it sound like a moral order at all, it sounds almost like
support for Mob Mentality. Not mention that people are not IntPoV, they
are Biological Patterns of value and therefore destroying a society to
preserve them is hence immoral, unless there is some intellectual priniple
at stake as well.
