some sociopaths have no problem carving up people's insides for fun, but in order to recruit the bulk of the population into a genocidal frenzy you must dehumanize the enemy in their eyes-- untermensch, heathens, savages, barbarians, infidels, evil terrorists. and nothing objectifies like the "evil" label. you can put aside any qualms when it comes the time to destroy evil. it's so easy when the enemy is no longer a person.

We must call upon our bright darkness,
Beliefs, they're the bullets of the wicked,
One was written on the sword,
For you must enter a room to destroy it,
International security,
Call of the righteous man,
Needs a reason to kill man,
History teaches us so,
The reason he must attain,
Must be approved by his God,
His child, partisan brother of war,
Of war, we don't speak anymore..
