“Moral distance processes tend to provide a foundation upon which other killing-enabling processes can be built. In general they are less likely to produce atrocities than cultural distance processes, and they are more in keeping with the kind of "rules" (deterring aggression and upholding individual human dignity) that organizations such as the United Nations have attempted to uphold. But as with cultural distance, there is a danger associated with moral distance. That danger is, of course, that every nation seems to think that God is on its side.” WarKillingAtrocity Book:On Killing: The Psychological Cost of Learning to Kill in War and Society Source: On Killing: The Psychological Cost of Learning to Kill in War and Society
