War Theory, Thursday, 4th Period

Honor leaned against the edge of the desk at the front of the classroom as the students filed in, half-standing, half-sitting. She wore civvies today -- khakis and a fitted tee, her long hair hanging free around her face.

Question One once_a_king October 5 2006, 15:48:56 UTC

"Aquinas determined that only the sovereign has the authority to wage war," Peter said thoughtfully. "But he doesn't clarify how exactly the sovereign is determined. Obviously the King or Queen, but what about in democracies like the United States?"

Re: Question One bound2blade October 5 2006, 16:14:48 UTC

Setsuna frowned a bit. "I always figured that, at the time Aquinas was writing, democracies like the United States were virtually unheard of. So it wouldn't have even been a consideration."

"No, but if he's to be applicable to the present time, the question needs to be determined," Peter replied. He looked back through his notes. "Though I suppose 'those who are in supreme authority' could rather cover it."

"Well, we've been hired by less," Pip said, scratching his head.

Question Two izzyalienqueen October 5 2006, 17:45:24 UTC

"A just war is one that avenges wrongs, or when a nation is punished for refusing to make amends, or to take back something that has been unjustly seized," Isabel listed.

"Which seems a little arbitrary to me," Schroinger said.

Re: Question Two izzyalienqueen October 5 2006, 21:04:23 UTC

"Why? They're all legitimate reasons."

Re: Question Two cat_in_the_box October 5 2006, 21:21:20 UTC

"Well, yeah. According to him. We must judge our reasons for going to war by what Thomas said hundreds of years ago?"

Honor was moving a bit stiffly, and Andrew seemed concerned. She waved him off. Stubbornly, he hovered like a mother hen as she packed her things.

Re: After Class once_a_king October 6 2006, 02:07:05 UTC

Peter approached Honor after class was over, paper in hand. "My Lady?" He tilted his head towards her. "Are you hurt?"

Re: After Class harringtongreen October 6 2006, 02:08:08 UTC

Honor gave a wry smile. "Nothing that can't be cured," she replied. "I got a little over enthusiastic in the dojo last night."

Re: After Class once_a_king October 6 2006, 02:35:11 UTC

Peter smiled back. "I'm glad it's not anything serious." He handed her three pages, closely handwritten in neat script. "There you are, ma'am. I don't think I agree with Hobbes' very much."
