I don't think one needs to committed to absolutes if that means counting out on principal the possibility that certain acts can ever be morally justified. In all the circumstance that have arisen and might realistically arise I would say that genocide, for example, is immoral. I am not thereby committed to saying that in any circumstances whatever genocide would be immoral - I do though find it difficult to imagine circumstances in which it wouldn't be. However, that may be a limitation of my imagination, not something that has to do with the absolute nature of, in this example, genocide.
