摘要

"It is well that war is so terrible, else we should grow too fond of it." The words of Robert E. Lee stand as the best comment not only on Bob Kerrey, the former presidential candidate accused of having committed a war crime 30 years ago, but of a more recent policy: that of handing over suspected war criminals to tribunals. As America anguishes over the revelations, the idea of drawing a solid line between what is permissible and unacceptable in war looks ever harder to do. Meanwhile, Lee's words also contain a warning: that dreadful as one bloody night in Vietnam now appears, it at least forces combatants and the public to confront the moral horrors of war in ways that may become impossible with the warfare of long-distance aerial bombardment.
