In this essay I argue that the effects of war suffered by soldiers are not justified, however no matter what happens to these soldiers our decision to go to war is not based on this.

there is a Higher Authority who decides these things. We do have control over our own actions.

Some women attempt to have an abortion by placing sharp or dirty objects into the womb or by punching the belly.

Just like the prisoner who must shield his eyes from the sun because he’s never seen the light of day, Neo’s first reaction upon seeing the real world is to ask Morpheus “Why do my eyes hurt?” Morpheus answers, “Because you’ve never used them.” In “The Matrix”, once a human has been set free from the...
self-righteous we were, even if the withdrawal from Vietnam ultimately justified our opposition to the war. I can't help but search for parallels in our current dilemma. But are there any?

ask, what kind of claim is this? Is it an a priori claim, or a generalization from experience? If it were the latter, we could never conclusively prove it: we could never show that necessarily all actions are selfish. So it must be a priori. But no a priori claim could be substantive: a priori...

we do not like may be justified.
