DOMO! Arigato. Thank you. I m in debt.
Exactly my point!!!
Unfortunately my English still is not so perfect to make deep responses. Thank you again for helping me out.
PS if I right remember one of the main deontologists was Immanuil Kant?
I understand what you are saying but I don't know WHY you would believe it?

Are you serious that if country A was attacked by country B and all of country B's weapons were stored in a major city, country A is not allowed to bomb that city? That is folley and will lead to the country who holds these high morals (as theoretically righteous they are) to be destroyed.

In a perfect world your way of thinking would work and there would be no victims of war. But in a perfect world, war would not exist.

I'm sorry but I just think that you saying Truman should have been imprisoned is short sighted and ignoring the realities of war.
If someone is trying to kill you, you kill them. There is a saying that I feel states my point of view.

"THE NEEDS OF THE MANY OUT-WEIGH THE NEEDS OF THE FEW"

As much as I hope an atomic bomb/nuclear weapon is never used again, I am more concerned about a World War 3. No one deserves to die, but sometimes the alternatives are a worse option. Which I believe an invasion of Japan would have been. They fought with honour and bravery. Unfortunately they were governed by a person who considered himself godly and used his peoples loyalty and lives to keep himself in power.
