R2P as an idea may be inching us in that direction; but at present it's really just a noble idea.Diodotushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12537000051304968795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6659531460936902596.post-66072440680227532592008-05-12T22:37:00.000-04:002008-05-12T22:37:00.000-04:00DiodotusI went through your links.A reason I asked...Diodotus<BR/><BR/>I went through your links.<BR/><BR/>A reason I asked was some of the commentary I’ve seen seems to want this to be a 911 item, as in the emergency phone number not the famous date.<BR/><BR/>If there is a problem some one calls the 911 dispatcher who sends a police car, who asks for backup and more backups and so on, and a judge sorts it out after the fact. This would be in distinction to going to war where the decision to respond to a event is evaluated up front, one would hope with some regard to Just War Principles.<BR/><BR/>I really think that a decision to go to war should be deliberative at the minimum not the reflex to a 911 call.<BR/><BR/>I’m glad my suspicions are not well founded, but as you noted there are a lot of issues here, if we are not to solve one problem with a greater one,hank_F_Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09851295792702162861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6659531460936902596.post-44493110774760542692008-05-12T19:58:00.000-04:002008-05-12T19:58:00.000-04:00DiodotusThanksDiodotus<BR/><BR/>Thankshank_F_Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09851295792702162861noreply@blogger.com
