Dear Sister 24 Jack kills Ryan Chappelle

Jack is a misguided, disgraced government agent who believes that right and wrong are only determined by quantitative reasoning

Back in Day 1 when he was a human being, he understood that there was something else worth protecting besides national security. Something deeper and more mysterious than a mathematical causality assessment

But he lost that connection with the world after the death of his wife, committing dark deeds he believed were right and blindly following a path to his own ruin

Remember, Bauer is responsible for his actions. Don't buy into the bullshit that "he had no choice." If it was Kim, he would have had "no choice" but to refuse to cooperate with Saunders. Just like how Palmer had no choice but to stop negotiating with terrorists after giving into them THREE TIMES. There can be no rationalization for the contradiction in his actions even from the dumbasses who dismissed his weaknesses as having his hand forced then called him a hero when he acted the opposite way

Well you don't need me to say anything to counter this. The second to last paragraph pretty much outs Mopanov as a dumbass.

He writes like a fourth grader and he's probably been there for the last six years.

Aside from ethics, look at the fallacies in his argument.

He admits LA was successfully quarantined but says the potential was greater in other cities, even though LA county has one of the greatest populations in the country. (nearly 10 million, more than NYC).

He denies that women and children should be tortured and killed in this situation, which completely defeats his argument since he said that there are no principles in this situation, and that the terrorist must be obeyed at all costs.

Well, I can clearly see that I'm trying to talk sense to a childish, stupid, name-calling, retard so I'm going to stop there.

I love the irony of this sentence, lol.

I hope you can all see the folly in this douch's argument. Understand that cold blooded murder cannot be justified under any circumstances. That we are a great country not because we throw ourselves at the mercy of terrorists but because we save lives in defiance of evil.

Never be quick to judge that the refusal to compromise will result in total loss. Have faith that doing the right thing will produce a favorable result.

And of course, a buffoon like mopanov only sees everything in absolutes. That if I or anyone else refused to capitulate to a terrorist's evil demands, that we would WANT millions of people to die and that we don't value human life.

But even a dumbass like him knows the flaws in his argument. Understands that his cynicism and his ignorance is the source of his beliefs and ultimately what makes him wrong in this issue.

It's not because I, like any descent human being know and understand that there's something else behind my actions. Something far greater than a thousand is a lot more than 1. That there are laws laid down on this world by a mysterious and unseen power which governs how we make our decisions.

Stuff like values, ethics, and loyalty, are irrelevant to someone like mopanov who like Jack Bauer wouldn't hesitate to shoot someone he knows and in the head when a ruthless murderer threatens him too.

And maybe like Jack Bauer, all it would take to make mopanov feel differently is if it was someone he loved and cared for in the same situation. That if it was his daughter or his wife, the sudden realization would dawn on him that murder is wrong. That an innocent individual can't be sacrificed to appease evil no matter how many lives are threatened

By his own admission, Mopanov says principles are stupid and worthless. But how would he feel if he was thrust in the situation described above?
