President Bush has used the London terrorist bombings as another occasion to broadcast his analysis that we are the Good guys and they are the Evil ones. There's no question that killing civilians in a terrorist attack is evil, and we mourn for the London victims. And it's good to address the climate crisis and world poverty, as the G8 Summit is trying to do.

Does this mean there is no such thing as good or evil? No. Not at all.
