Iraq The Moral Reckoning

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.

Craig M. White is public affairs officer at the U.S. embassy in Port Louis, Mauritius.
