Question

In the case of 1972 Munich Olympics, How will choosing the lesser of two evils yield a better outcome?

Answer 1

Lesser of two evils is condition in which a choice had to made between two immoral actions. In the case of 1972 Munich Olympics, if the police and authorities would have worked collaboratively without the communication gap, and avoided a botched rescue mission, then the terrorist would have been killed causing least killings of the Olympic team of Israel. In both the conditions killings was obvious whether of the terrorist or the Israeli team, but, an unplanned botched rescue caused killing of the Israeli team, police officials and the terrorist, thus, the outcomes were the worst causing only harm than any good of the two evils.
