Iraq - The Moral Reckoning

Informationen zum Autor Craig M. White is public affairs officer at the U.S. embassy in Port Louis, Mauritius. Klappentext Iraq: The Moral Reckoning is an intensive application of the six classic just war theory criteria to the 2003 Iraq war decision, weighing information available at the time from a wide range of sources and concluding that the war met just one of the six, whereas a just war should meet all. It supplements the criteria with widely used ethical principles and thoroughly refutes neoconservative arguments that the war met the criteria. Inhaltsverzeichnis Chapter 1 Preface Part 2 Part I.
