War and its destructive acts are immoral by the standards of Western
Civilization. However, I think you've both overlooked the necessity of warfare
to defend a nation.

[Arlo]
Just two quick points here, Ham, as I have little interest in debating Rand yet
again. I do NOT overlook the necessity of warfare to defend a nation, to
suggest so is to have either (1) not read anything I actually wrote, or (2)
attempt to use similar rhetorical devices as have been used to "discredit
through implying weakness or unpatriotism". As Ian recently stated, and I
somewhat reword, "Force should be met with moral force, but not evil".
