"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. 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?"--Jacket.
