The Seventh Rule Of The Ethics Of Means And Ends Is That Generally Success Or Failure Is A Mighty Determinant Of Ethics. The Judgment Of History Leans Heavily On The Outcome Of Success Or Failure; It Spells The Difference Between The Traitor And The Patriotic Hero. There Can Be No Such Thing As A Successful Traitor, For If One Succeeds He Becomes A Founding Father.
