A majority of the American public and the international community now believe that America's invasion and occupation of Iraq were not based on an "imminent" threat to U.S. security and that the war was unjustifiable as well as a tragic mistake. Current debate rages on as it becomes clear that more is at stake than how or when victory can be proclaimed over an enemy whose very identity and whereabouts in latter-day counterinsurgency struggle within Iraq are problematical. Meanwhile, with bitter irony the Iraq population has become increasingly anti-United States as Iraqis call for American and coalition troop withdrawals. Moreover, large numbers of American GIs, who are themselves deployed to the region, give mounting evidence of appearing to be in favor of a U.S. withdrawal. The most poignant of all questions concerning the Iraq War is its moral justification. It boils down to asking two key questions: Was the Iraq war just? Was it fought in a just way? 000438846 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 000438846 60010 $$aBush, George W.$$q(George Walker),$$d1946-$$xPolitical and social views. 000438846 650_0 $$aIraq War, 2003-2011$$xMoral and ethical aspects. 000438846 650_0 $$aWar on Terrorism, 2001-2009$$xMoral and ethical aspects. 000438846 650_0 $$aJust war doctrine. 000438846 651_0 $$aUnited States$$xForeign relations$$y2001-2009. 000438846 651_0 $$aUnited States$$xMilitary policy$$xMoral and ethical aspects. 000438846 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aWeeks, Albert Loren, 1923-$$tChoice of war.$$dSanta Barbara, Calif. : Praeger Security International, c2010$$z9780275991111$$w(DLC) 2009039041$$w(OCoLC)166388185 000438846 830_0 $$aEthics of American foreign policy. 000438846 8520_ $$bacq 000438846 85280 $$bebk$$hProQuest Ebook Central 000438846 85280 $$bebk$$hProQuest Ebook Central Academic Complete 000438846 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=539674$$zOnline Access 000438846 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central Academic Complete$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=539674$$zOnline Access 000438846 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:438846$$pGLOBAL_SET 000438846 980__ $$aEBOOK$$aEBOOK 000438846 980__ $$aBIB 000438846 982__ $$aEbook 000438846 983__ $$aOnline
