    Naturally. It is easier on the conscience not to act rather than to calculate and act decisively for the better when both have negative consequences. One is an act of killing, the other a sin of omission (or abdication of moral responsibility).

    Who is to say that it would be best... like Monty's trolley test, there is no guarantee that going hell for leather and taking extreme measures will make it better in the long run.

    That will be why that is hasn't happened yet...... you could say Iraq was the going in hard and making things better in the long run, it hasn't worked out like that yet.

    There are no guarantees of anything other than the fact that doing the same thing again and again will always bring the same result.
