Don't confuse what I am about to write with support for war against Iran. I think such a war would be a stupid thing to do and quite counterproductive to formation of a democratic Iran. Iran is generating external threats in a bid to unite its people who are increasingly dissatisfied with the mullocracy. Just leave them unmolested but with constant diplomatic pressure and they will eventually collapse under their own contradictions.
Yours (and most of Old Europe's) multicultural moral relativism is perfectly illustrated in your paragraph, above. To you, the device is the evil, not the actions of peoples and governments. To assign that label, "evil" to a regime is something you cannot abide nor can you understand. In your world everything is morally equivalent and context is everything.
Therefore, there is no argument that could be made to you that would help you understand that some governments intend to perpetrate evil on people outside of their lands and even upon their own people. Because you cannot imagine it you cannot believe it possible.
