ABSTRACT
If one’s cause is just, why should the righteous be treated the same as the unjust? If one side is clearly right and the other side is clearly wrong, shouldn’t the side that is in the right be permitted to do whatever is required to win? Why should the “good” side be forced to fight with “one hand tied behind its back” when the “bad” side doesn’t care about the rules and refuses to adhere to them? This chapter addresses these questions, arguing that it is often difficult to know with absolute certainty that one is on the “right” side, and there are good reasons for adhering to limits in one’s conduct even when convinced that one’s country does indeed have justice on its side.
