In Defence of War synopsis

Peaceful is popular. Many believe that war is not necessary, because peaceful means of conflict resolution are always available, if only we have the will to search for it.

Or they believe that the war is evil, involving essentially hatred of the enemy and neglect of human life. Or impose the absolute right of innocent individuals not to murder deliberately, making it impossible to justify war in practice.

But peace is not simple. For some, peace can leave others in peace to commit mass atrocities.

Peace for the West in 1994 was not peace for Tutsi Rwanda. Therefore, against the wishful virus, anti-army cartoons, and the dominance of moral debates by talking about rights to defend war confirm that war can be morally justified, even if it is tragic and morally complex.

This book brings back the Christian tradition of meditation from Augustine to Grotius, which confirms the war of aggression in punishing the grave injustice. Ethically realistic in adhering to universal moral principles, it recognizes that morality can outweigh the legitimacy and justify military intervention even in violation of positive international law, as in the case of Kosovo.

Less pessimistic and more realistic in theory about the human nature of Hobbes, he sees that nations wish to be virtuous in moral terms and right, not just to be safe and greedy. And aspires to practical realism, argues that love and the doctrine of dual-effect can survive the fighting; and that the limitations of proportion, though real, are nevertheless sufficiently lenient to include the British war of 1814-1914.

Finally, in an exhaustive analysis of the invasion of Iraq in 2003, the war of defense in war culminates in how different standards of fair war can be considered together. It also concludes that, in the light of all things, the invasion was justified..
