Whilst I agree there are situations where the concepts of right and wrong are not relevant or necessary or in fact should be put aside for some reason, I find it amazing you would say a man should be expected "stop reasoning with those" simply as a matter of course.

Without getting into a debate about what is right and wrong, cultural differences and "lesser of two evil" type situations, surely in any matter where the concepts of right and wrong matter it is the mark of a reasonable person to do what is right if at all possible.(at the very least as "right" is defined for that person)

I do not think there should ever come a time when a person should be expected to "stop reasoning" with those ideas. George W Bush and his ilk are perfect examples of people who have no regard for right and wrong, preferring instead to reason by what is best for them and their wallets.
