If an enemy waged war, will you let them kill you or your creatures? this how I view this matter. these creatures are under my care, and I'm under an obligation to protect them. this obligation overrides any other feelings or beliefs I have. of course, I'm no Buddhist, and I'm sure you have another point of view about the matter.
