  • ""In this book, Albert Weeks, a longtime scholar of military affairs and the Cold War, weaves together the tradition of just war and current events in an effort to show how the time-honored concepts of jus ad bellum, or justice of war, and jus in bello, or justice in war, apply to the current U.S. military involvement in Iraq." "This timely analysis of President George W. Bush's foreign policy deals with the cornerstone of his first and second administrations - the war on terror, as implemented in Afghanistan, Iraq, and on the preventive front at Camp Delta in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, with well-noted spillover effects at Abu Ghraib prison in Baghdad. He discusses NSS 2002, the national security statement that became the blueprint for the Bush Doctrine, and he explains the differences and similarities between preventive and preemptive war. He also explores reasons given by the administration to the American people for the necessity of the March 2003 invasion. Finally, he analyzes the conduct of the war (jus in bello), the occupation, and the post-occupation phases of the conflict." --Résumé de l'éditeur."
  • "As American servicemen and women and U.S. civilian employees continue to die on an almost daily basis in Iraq, serious doubts about the justness and the wisdom of the war continue to arise. 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?"@en

Finally, it analyzes the conduct of the war, the occupation, and the post-occupation phases of the conflict.''In evaluating the Bush Doctrine, both as declared strategy and as implemented, Albert L. Weeks asks whether going it virtually alone in the global struggle against 21st-century terrorism should be incorporated permanently into American political and military policy. Answering no, he suggests an alternative to a doctrine that has isolated the United States and left the world divided.'"
