Why I love war, especially a just war

Enough is enough. I don't care what he writes from now on. I'm shunning Ba'al. You cannot have a person like this, with his cast-iron brain, have any sanctioned association with Objectivism. He is worse to have around than that plagiarist. This guy is like a stripper performing behind the minister at a wedding.

"War itself, provided it is conducted with order and a sacred respect for the rights of civilians,

has something sublime about it, and gives nations that carry it on

in such a manner a stamp of mind only the more sublime the more

numerous the dangers to which they are exposed, and which they are

able to meet with fortitude. On the other hand, a prolonged peace

favours the predominance of a mere commercial spirit, and with it a

debasing self-interest, cowardice, and effeminacy, and tends to

degrade the character of the nation."

Immanuel Kant, 1790, The Critique of Judgement translated by James Meredith
