Hello ,
The debate about war can be looked at in a different way.
Suppose an off-duty policeman is quietly buying groceries in a small
market when he sees a robber come in and pull a gun on the clerk
demanding money. After getting it, the robber tells the clerk to turn
around and then cocks and aims his gun. The off-duty policeman pulls his own gun and
shoots the robber.
The robber declared war on the store clerk and the off-duty
policeman declared war on the robber. The first declaration of war
was very immoral, but what about the second? Was the police action
really more of a "holy war"? I think we should argue against war,
but what about police action?
Best regards,
