Briefly, if the basis for any legitimate Ethics requires that we absorb violence, that we turn the other cheek; how are we to understand, if we are to think of the position of one State among many, as an obligation to be involved (this point to be taken up presently) with the clash between nations, the ethical nature of, for example, Allied involvement in the Second World War? Most will agree that it was necessary, given the clear binary option to either engage, or not, in the face of global crises. But was it ethical? And, if not ethical, then by what justification do we engage? We can see that our answer here my be the at the top of a slippery slope, having to admit that Government must obey another, presiding call for action, one without regard for ethical considerations. Do we want that? If so, what place, then, to Ethics play in human existence, if not to inform our highest reflections for attaining to the Good Life? I cannot flatter myself here by assuming that I am the first to reach these considerations, certainly far from it. In this case, we need to endeavor to expose the important questions surrounding this problem, with much help from others who have done the same.
