Hi Kev,
You write:
"As to your hypothetical situation, I would reapply my comment that war may
sometimes be statically justified but never is Dynamically qualified."
In other words, nothing fresh and new is added. The status quo has
merely been maintained.
"....if the policemen kills the robber, his destruction of quality
was justified to enforce the current societal stability of the social level
and prevent a greater loss of quality in the being of the store clerk.
However, his actions are never Dynamically qualified, because his
destruction are never constructive. His action is justified immorality. War
is justified, but its always immoral. In quick summation - there's no such
thing as a holy war".
OK. Maybe we can call it sort of a semi holy war since if waged
properly, it at least upholds a valuable static latch.
I agree that if the hypothetical policeman had instead tackled the
robber in a quick burst and then converted him to a higher level of
quality during the robber's prison time, it would be better. The
effort to do that might even qualify as a true "holy war".
Thanks for helping to further clarify this Kev.
Bill Justin
Sincerely,
Kev
