"We can protect ourselves from the moral turmoil of considering whether we ourselves might perpetrate such evil. Or we can reject the question and decide that we are dealing with inhuman monsters against whom any defence is legitimate. But if neither of those evasions satisfies our consciences, we will ask ourselves what could bring anyone to choose to commit terror."
