So, for example, if you were a deontological pacifist, you say, under no circumstances do I believe that violence is the solution.

Well, what would usually happen to a society if it adhered to deontological pacifism?

They would be attacked.

They'd be eradicated, right?

So it can't be that for some of these geopolitical issues, there is a rule that in its nature is deontological.

So many of the Americans that are anti this war are very, very staunchly steeped in sort of a libertarian slash deontological isolationist perspective.

Now, in many cases...

I would completely agree with that position in that it's not the Americans' position to have to go and be the policeman of everywhere in the world.

But let's contrast it, say, with when World War II was about to happen, the appeasement strategy of Iraq.

This guy with the little mustache says, don't worry about it.

I absolutely have no design to do anything about it.

You swear, Adolf?

It's all good?

Yeah, yeah, don't worry.

Promise?

You really don't?

Even though you're moving all of your stuff, you're a good guy, right?

I can trust you.

Yeah, of course you can.

So appeasement only works if the other person is someone that can be fully trustworthy.
