Here is Weigel's article: Truman's Terrible Choice. And here is Paul Fussell's classic — and thoroughly informed — discussion of the matter, which Dave just sent: “Thank God for the Atom Bomb.”
Understanding the past requires pretending that you don’t know the present.Feser notes that "Catholic just war teaching holds that directly and intentionally killing non-combatants is intrinsically evil." Well, in that case, World War II was an unjust war straight across the board, since both sides targeted civilian populations — remember the Blitz and Dresden and Hamburg, etc. So I guess bad guys were bound to win. I presume Feser is happy that the bad guys who did win were the Allies and not the Axis.
It requires feeling its own pressure on your pulses without any ex post facto
illumination.
I would suggest that philosophy that does not thoroughly engage reality — which is often messy and irrational — is not worth pondering.
I want to thank Dr Emu a very powerful spell caster who help me to bring my husband back to me, few month ago i have a serious problem with my husband, to the extend that he left the house, and he started dating another woman and he stayed with the woman, i tried all i can to bring him back, but all my effort was useless until the day my friend came to my house and i told her every thing that had happened between me and my husband, then she told me of a powerful spell caster who help her when she was in the same problem I then contact Dr Emu and told him every thing and he told me not to worry my self again that my husband will come back to me after he has cast a spell on him, i thought it was a joke, after he had finish casting the spell, he told me that he had just finish casting the spell, to my greatest surprise within 48 hours, my husband really came back begging me to forgive him, if you need his help you can contact him with via email: Emutemple@gmail.com or add him up on his whatsapp +2347012841542 is willing to help any body that need his help.
