The concept of “a just war” has been debated for decades as a logical way to establish whether the use of force in a specific situation carries any moral weight. This page from the Carter Center reprints an Op-Ed article by former president Jimmy Carter in which he asserts that current operations in Iraq fail the “just war” test on several grounds. Lots of interesting discussion possibilities with this one.
