Tools for Obliteration

There is a small exchange/discussion over at Alastair's 40 Bicycles Blog which may be of interest to you. The original blog entry questioned the popular view of some war heroes, and the comment section has included some interesting exchange. If you have a moment, you may find it worth reading.

Additionally, a link was provided through a comment which deals with the use of the atomic bombs in World War 2. You will see the link there, but I want to provide it here as well in case you only have time to visit one or the other and come back later for further reading. Here is the link to John Yoder's piece from 1997 at Notre Dame: BACKGROUNDS TO ETHICAL INTERPRETATION OF THE BOMBING OF HIROSHIMA AND NAGASAKE IN TERMS OF THE "JUST WAR TRADITION"
