Description

This is the first and only book to provide a moral analysis of the war in Iraq and its implications for the future of war and peacemaking.

As a leading authority on the development and application of moral traditions related to war, Johnson's analysis relates the conflict in Iraq to the broader context of the ongoing war between the West and radical Islam, the United States' "war on terrorism," and the emerging principles of preemptive military actions.

After setting the context by comparing the principles of Just War to those of Jihad, Johnson provides a thorough and accessible moral analysis of the debate leading up to the war in Iraq, the implementation of Operation Iraqi Freedom, and the lessons to be learned from the conflict. The War To Oust Saddam Hussein: Just War and the New Face of Conflict addresses the key questions most people are asking today: What should be the standard for pre-emptive uses of military force?

What of the other arguments the Bush Administration offered for the need to remove Saddam Hussein and restructure Iraq?

What is to be said for the future about the possibilities of fruitful relations between the cultures of the West and of Islam?
