I guess the "what are we accomplishing" is referring to the hypothetical robots waging war in all of our minds while we have this discussion.

I have a nice long rant all formed in my mind, but that would be stepping on somebody's toes. Suffice to say that I'm amazed that we've been letting other people take advantage of American ethics for this long. The "needs of the many" mentality is perfectly valid for me.
