Just War Theory and Terrorism
In Martin's discussion, "The Just War Doctrine," lays out several questions first published by the Christian Science Monitor (Scott, 2001) in this article Tyson, 2001 lays out six questions:
• Is it justified to attack states and overturn regimes to get at terrorists?
• Can the United States legitimately target political figures like Taliban leader Mullah Mohammad Omar?
• What are U.S. obligations in terms of minimizing civilian casualties?
• What types of force should be used?
• When should U.S. forces take prisoners, rather than killing Afghan Troops?
• Is there a plan for peace? (Martin, 2016, p. 9)
Select one of the questions above and address it based on "The Just War Doctrine" as discussed by Martin. You must argue the issue from the perspective of the U.S. government or a sovereign nation such as Afghanistan or Iraq. Support your post with examples from required materials, scholarly sources, or official government sources.
