| War creates its own ethical imperatives United States Civil War General William Tecumsah Sherman, who cut a swath across [U.S.] Georgia that devastated everything in his path, later reflected that "war is hell." He was not speaking in a regretful mode. On the contrary, he meant that war is a process of delivering hell to one"s enemies. His position was that to exercise restraint is to prolong the war and increase the number of casualties. From 1931 until 1944, along with many other countries, the United States condemned the bombing of civilian populations. We condemned the Japanese militarists for bombing the Chinese; Mussolini"s air force for bombing the North Africans; Franco for bombing his own people in Spain, and the Nazis for bombing London and Coventry. When Franklin Roosevelt became assured of the Allies ultimate victory in the Pacific, he decided that there would be no negotiated peace with the Japanese. "Unconditional surrender," became the new war cry, and the British, the Chinese, the French and the Russians agreed. |
