<<<The most serious problem with this argument is that populations go to war for moral reasons, whatever their leadership believes. Thus, the logic of morality is crucial to the consideration of war.>>>
I am confused here, but its far too early in the day to get into the complications of morality.
Is it not merely logical that if someone tries to destroy your buildings, Capitals, and people that you would go to war , if that is the only way to prevent him from doing so?
Or if somebody tries to kill you in a street fight, that you defend yourself ?
It seems morality comes in most after the action starts, in the rules of engagement
Another point is that populations dont go to war, leaders decide who goes to war.
