Was it JUST to incinerate hundreds of thousands of innocent Japanese mothers and babies in the Tokyo firestorm? Was it just to kill millions over a purely military attack in Hawaii?
I believe you are inaccurate to claim that Allied Forces killed "millions" (I guess you are saying non-combatants) in our attacks seeking to have the Japanese surrender in WWII.
I also beleive that characterizing the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor, a site with many civilians working in a peacetime naval harbor common to the civilian harbor was a purely military target. Civilians did die after all
No, when I use the term "just war" I am speaking of the Just War Doctrine, not war in general or the current war specifically.
I am saying that the fellow I was replying to was asking for a war outside of that doctrine. A war against all adherents of a general religous faith, beyond borders and cultures.
He is advocating that we make war on a religion, long after those who harmed us are gone or surrendered. He does something much like hate-crime legislation, he wants war on their thoughts and beliefs because he feels that so long as there are any beleivers in Islam, they will war upon us with terror.
I don't agree with that position, and I shared that view with him.
