So if you could substitute one for the other in your sentence, your usage is incorrect. I usually remember that... not this time.jaedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03328666344764784829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5173950.post-64506838983874418322017-09-25T03:09:25.501-04:002017-09-25T03:09:25.501-04:00Jaed, your mistake, my education.

The vast majority of noncombatants in those two polities survived, and they and their descendants are doing pretty OK today, for all that those two polities no longer exist. The totality of those destructions in no way violate any theory of Just War other than, perhaps, the Bishops', of the <i>Pastoral Letter on War and Peace</i>.<br /><br />Eric HinesE HIneshttp://aplebessite.comnoreply@blogger.com
