Self-Defense is a reaction to violence, but it is also violence. So like I said, violence is not absolutely a bad thing, it generally is, but in some circumstances it is a noble and praiseworthy.

Every State in the world is built on the foundation of violence. Study basic political theory to understand this fact. Even the most benign State in the world cannot persist without the underline threat of violence to those that challenge its writ.

Well there's a "Boop-in'."

But antyways.

If you're still reading along.

I note you're asking for my subjective opinion now about 'Just war theory'. Interesting turn of phrase there.

No, even though my country and relatiges have been involved in wars there are no 'Just' ones.

Your second phrase does not lead on from thd preceeding 'Self defence' comment and I see you're still happy with your opinion of adding 'Nobel' and 'Praiseworthy' to yoyr violence. It doesn't change the violence inherent in the language. (Come see tha' violence inherent in'a system! Help! Help! I'm bein' oppressed!)

Again your claim that 'Every' State is built upon voilence.

In a broad, historic, sense I can see some glimmer of truth in that.

However I'd also point to those governing systems which have matured and outgrown such.

B'bye.
