Zehfuss finds flaw in the idea of changing what’s wrong in the world through political policy. For one reason, it is not always easy to determine right from wrong, so we cannot whole-heartedly advocate going the right thing to defeat a specific ‘evil’.

Ability to create change assumes we, as humans, have some kind of control over all the world’s workings. In acting on war, there is inevitably a sacrifice of some lives in order to protect others.
