“Yet the question of warfare is a moral question and the immensity of the problems inherent in
modern warfare does not excuse us from exercising moral criteria in evaluating those
problems. We cannot leave judgment about such matters to soldiers and leaders alone, because
the human dignity at issue is ours. We all share responsibility for how our human dignity is
treated. To refuse to think in moral categories about war is to surrender ahead of time to
barbarism and injustice.”
