Ain’t it the truth? Machiavelli made a similar argument in his Prince: Wherefore a prince must learn how not to be good, and use it or not according to necessity.  Niebuhr is required reading in college and graduate school  for aspiring US Imperial Apparatchiks in order to soothe their consciences for all the dirty work they do for the American Empire. Obama too said Niebuhr was his favorite  theologian. No wonder Obama  appointed Pee Tapes Comey Director of the American Gestapo—AKA FBI.
