that's 

in many systems morality is not a matter of what you do
but what you choose
so the only way to let someone else be good is to let them make their own
choices

it seemed a rather heavy handed intervention
to keep angel away from darla and drusila beginning season 2
which angel fought against and it subsequently went pear shaped

the powers that be what might have concluded they were intervening too
directly
robbing angel et al of their free will
and reducing them to puppets
hence it would be better to pull back
and operate less directly

i dont give jasmine a lot of credit
bcecause it starts sounding like the maxim evil is stronger than good
because good is stupid

i would rather think the powers that be what
knew exactly what jasmine was up to
but decided it for humans to choose for themselves to resist or not
