Subject: Just Wars

My original:

And

Ian:

That's what the Japanese and Germans said. Preemptory self-defense is one

of the finer lies in life.

Not a convincing retort, I am afraid. The fact that a concept can be abused

or misused is hardly a refutation of the concept itself.

============

Name one person in the history of the world that has the moral authority to inaugurate death. Not political power, moral authority.
