A key principle of Catholic Just War Theory is the actions of past US presidents. Makes sense.

Don't try to pretend this issue is black and white. JWT provides a framework for discussion that, while valid, would nonetheless take an entire academic year to discuss...without providing a definitive answer. When you get infinite threats, like possible use of nuclear weapons, it becomes somewhat problematic (and problematic I mean pretty much impossible) for a room of even the smartest people to agree on what is proportional and appropriate. But, please, don't let that stop you from posturing. Maybe provide a link, pretend you read it and understood it, and pretend that it supports only your viewpoint and no one else's.

Evil preaches tolerance until it is dominant, then it tries to silence good.
