Nations are incapable of morality or immorality. Individual persons may have morality or act immorally. Moral slogans are merely expressions of individual opinion. A national leader who acts on his impressions of his own morality betrays his country which demands that he look after its interests, not please his private feelings of right and wrong. It may very well be true that the interests of a democratic nation of free people are best served by conforming to the commonly accepted popular morality. It is, I believe, true that a dictatorship that acts morally according to the morality of its dictators betrays the real interests of its people. The best thing that has ever happened to the Japanese people as a whole is its losing the Great Pacific War. Someday, Russians will learn that losing the Afghan War was a good thing. Anyone who doubts that the U.S. losing Vietnam was a good thing should think again. In time, Serbia may learn that this war liberated them from a virulent nationalism, and let them enjoy becoming a free European nation. If you doubt that, check out Slovenia -- the first country to break away from Yugoslavia and resist Serbian aggression.
