And so those basic points are what you have to look at.
It has to have a reasonable expectation of success.
accomplish the protection of innocence that it should be about.
Those points are what we have to keep looking at.
And like I said, there probably aren't many wars in human history that would qualify as meeting all the criteria.
Some meet more than others.
But I don't know that this present conflict, they're not even calling it a war.
And I think that tells us something.
But
This present conflict, I don't know that it qualifies on any of those points because, yes, there was some threat there, but was it justifiable to immediately address that threat, which seemed to be a future threat that may have been very real?
I don't claim to know all of that, but
I think the leaders are challenged to really look more deeply at that.
And certainly the idea of protecting innocence, honestly, I mean, and again, I haven't been in any war rooms or heard the real discussion, but it seems and what we're seeing is
It's like we can expect and we can plan for the collateral damage, which should be always stated as we can plan for innocence to die because of this action, because that's what collateral damage really is talking about.
So that I think is a reasonable, probably not the most scholarly
exposition of the just war theory, but those are the basic points.
And again, if people say, oh, it gets so complicated, just think about defending yourself, defending your home, defending your family.
You can't go out and, you know, you have a neighbor that's talking crazy and go and put a bomb in their front yard.
I mean, that's not proportionate.
That is not reasonable, and it has to be something that is reasonable.
