"Necessary evil" is a logical fallacy because that which is truly necessary is *not* an evil. I defy anyone here to come up with an evil that is truly necessary. You won't do it, because evil relates exclusively to satisfying one's desires, and unlike needs, desires are not necessities.

fraquar: That is an easy one, the Atomic Bomb. The alternative was unimaginable carnage because the Japanese had no intention of surrendering otherwise. Think Okinawa x20 or larger.
Not even close. They were completely beaten, militarily and industrially, and unconditional surrender is *not* worth the commision of war crimes.
