Went through ttying to figure it out once I discovered it on TVTropes, and whenever I try to think about it, True Neutral appears to be the only choice that fits. Part of me thinks I'd like to think I'd do what's right if given the chance, but the rest of me knows I don't particularly tend to work that way.
The passage describes me to a tee, although, honestly, instead of not feeling strongly one way or the other, I'm often inclined to think strongly for or against both sides simultaneously. Confuse you? Watch The Battle of Algiers. You'll get if you watch it.
You'll love the Algerian rebels fighting for their freedom and despise them for generally being the forefathers of the Islamist rebels we've spent the last 16 1/2 years fighting (up to and including instituting the death penalty for drinking in public). And you'll love and hate the French who fight them because, well, they're trying to defeat these terrorists, but don't give a shit about the collateral damage they cause (according to my Big Book of Horrible Things, about 525,000 people died, making it the 69th-deadliest conflict in history.)
And the more you look at the world, it becomes clear that a depressingly high proportion of the conflicts we're involved in aren't simply Good vs. Evil, or even Good Person with Good Idea A vs. Good Idea with Good Idea B, but French vs. Algerian.
