Synopsis

A sober reflection upon the tragedy of September 11, 2001 attacks on the United States and the latter's war on terrorism raises some moral and ethical concerns about war. The questions, how and when pre- emptive strikes against terrorism can be justified and to what extent is the war against terror different from terrorism itself remain crucial in this book. The reviewed literature shows that terrorism is explained by the excessive use of self-defense wars evoked by powerful nations mis/applying International law and the Just war theory. Confronting terrorism, therefore, requires a pro- pacifist ethical framework that could narrow the legitimacy of self-defense wars. Thus this book proposes ¿Moral Consistency¿ as a required condition for launching pre-emptive strikes with the aim of reducing violent conflicts and to draw a substantial distinction between reason and justification, and between crime and criminal justice.
