Errol Morris:
"I think we have this very simplistic idea, that evil
is the product of evil people, that there are a host
of Iagos in the wings, rubbing their hands together,
conniving, calculating, plotting.... And then the
solution is just, 'Well, let's find where they are and
let's go get 'em. Let's kill 'em. Let's lock 'em
up.' And there you have it--a solution to the problem
of evil. But what if evil is much harder to identify?
What if we're all capable of it?"
