Going back to your original question is war wrong? No
A human being's strongest instinct is self-preservation. If it is threatened you will instinctually try to destroy that threat.
Is it wrong to hold people without due process? Certainly. In America before 9-11 it would have caused an outrage. Not with the threat of terrorism, it is now commonplace.
Do I have a problem with the seeming contradiction in this now?No, my life and country is threatened. That makes it a totally logical decision.
Is it practicing situational ethics?Yes, because I dont want other nations doing that to me or my countrymen.
If your enemy is one that cannot be reasoned with and is willing to fight to the death I dont think you have a choice but to kill him. If he runs a country then by neccesity you have to go to war in order to kill him.
