But even if that were true, even if you could kill enough people and subjugate others to have a very comfortable existence, should you do it? I understand an appeal to morality in a society of amoral beings is basically yelling to the void, but come on. Some things are wrong, regardless of how easy your life could become if you did them. I don't think Americans have ever understood that, and whoever did has historically been shunned (John Brown comes to mind), often imprisoned or assassinated.
True, Americans are very "pragmatic" (and this is not a compliment)
