Remember the new Dawn of the Dead? That's what the band is playing, "have a nice day," in mellow tones, as the nurse drives home, and under the radar, zombies begin to overrun the hospitals and emergency services...
Charles Krauthammer wants you to have a nice day.
But this is also why idealists and simple, well-meaning folk are very rarely allowed to be the ones making momentous decisions... sometimes there are no simple answers. It's easy to sit back and use 20/20 hindsight to criticize decisions, when the guy making them has, at the time, "plenty of choices but no real options." And sometimes, one makes a truly horrific choice, in order to avoid an even more horrific potentiality.
