Ethical Rhetoric & Ethical Reality: Vietnam and the Middle East
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 06 September 2018
Extract
Both the long, unending war in Vietnam and the sudden, brief Arab-Israeli conflict continue to provoke strong — and diverse ethical assessments. In the blizzard of righteousness which is piling up around us we are told by many that the Johnson Administration is immoral, by others that it did or is doing the only thing ethical realism finds conceivable. Sometimes the judgment is made within-the framework of what is usually called “situation ethics.” sometimes it proceeds instead from an “ethic of principles.” From the evidence of the articles themselves the method does not evidently ordain the conclusion; or if it does, then there are some verv clever knaves at work twisting each method to yield the wrong answers.
