It's a complicated thing to answer directly because I was taught to never judge others. I guess in a sence we are more obligated to direct our own steps.

Respectfully, Herefornow, I think we each end up judging what is good and what is evil everyday.  What is good and what is evil?  That is why we have laws, I suppose, to clarify things.

In the old days, the Ice Age, for instance, people did not have the luxury of having laws, it simply was a matter of survival, and might, of course, made right.

In a sense, might still does make right.  I am an American, but I am not blindly patriotic.  Throughout our history, if one really looks at our history, we truly have treated other nations abominably at times, all in the name of selfish self-interest. Napalming the Vietnamese, for instance, or bombing houses in Iraq. I can see, full well, how others might view our own nations actions as "evil."
