Hi Jan
I can tell you what a just war is these days. A just war is one where you are convinced of your virtue. As in Tony Blair's 'you may disagree with me but you may not doubt my virtue'.
Self-regard as the engine of public policy. The themes these days are self regard, shamelessness and humiliation. Leonard Cohen sang a decade ago
'Give me Stalin and St Paul' (Democracy Is Coming To The USA)
and I'm having trouble adjusting to these days too.
