| | Sample Chapter for Ignatieff, M.: The Lesser Evil: Political Ethics in an Age of Terror. |
 | | In a war on terror, I would argue, the issue is not whether we can avoid evil acts altogether, but whether we can succeed in choosing lesser evils and keep them from becoming greater ones. | | | Coercion may be necessary to maintain social order, but in a democratic theory of government it is an evil, and it must be kept to a strict minimum. | | | Far from being evils, Hitler's and Stalin's acts of extermination were heralded as necessary to the creation of a utopia: a world of class unity and social justice, or, in the case of the Thousand Year Reich, a nation purified of the racial enemy. |

| | Listed below are links to weblogs that reference LIB Review: The Lesser Evil: | | | This is another example of the Left having no difficulty looking past the evil of those who deliberately instigate such dilemmas, but instead focus on the state's response to the conundrum. | | | His essential point on this is that sometimes a democracy will have to do bad things in combating terrorism (i.e., will have to resort to a "lesser evil" like torture, in order to prevent a "greater evil" like mass murder), but that the evil/bad nature of those actions should be acknowledged. |

| | Hathaway, Aaron Period 7 The Lesser Evil Barbara Harrison once said, The toughest choices in life are not those between good and evil, but those between the good and the lesser good. She makes a good point given that those are the only types of choices that we must make. | | | Distinguishing the lesser of two evils is far more difficult than identifying the greater of two goods. | | | At a closer examination, however, we can see that in both cases one or the other party is at a financial loss. |

| | Ferreting out Evil. The Records of the Committee on Evil Literature |
| | The Committee on Evil Literature was appointed by the Minister for Justice, Kevin O'Higgins, on 12 February 1926, to consider and report whether it is necessary or advisable in the interest of the public morality to extend the existing powers of the State to prohibit or restrict the sale and circulation of printed matter (1). | | | The records of the Committee on Evil Literature, which were made available to the public under the National Archives Act in January 1995, reveal early attempts by the newly established Irish Free State to prevent the introduction into, and circulation within, Ireland of printed matter deemed to be morally corrupting. | | | Reverend Richard Devane, SJ, author of Indecent Literature - Some Legal Remedies, published in The Irish Ecclesiastical Record, February 1925, seems to have advised the Committee in an expert capacity. |

| | In ''The Lesser Evil,'' originally presented last year as the Gifford Lectures at the University of Edinburgh, he turns from human rights victims and abusers to the new nemesis of our age, terrorism. | | | Pre-emptive war, we are told, ''can be a justified lesser evil only when the case for it is sustained by evidence that would convince free peoples.'' Some constraint. | | | That is the ''lesser evil.'' The righteous cause is the preservation -- bruised but mostly intact -- of our democratic system from those who might threaten it. |

| | However, the editors of the New Republic have a pretty compelling argument that, however, unpalatable they may be, bilateral negotiations are the lesser evil. | | | Favoring bilateral negotiations and a counter-proliferation regime, rather than combat, does not imply viewing North Korea as a lesser threat than Iraq. | | | To the contrary, it’s precisely because Pyongyang–which may already have a nuclear weapon–poses a greater threat than Baghdad that military force is today not a serious option. |
