Offer your assessment of the US war in Afghanistan and the war on terror in terms of just war theory. Think of the rights a US prisoner has if he is considered a terrorist. Should we torture him to get the necessary information to stop a possible major weapon of mass destruction? A caution: in introducing a topic such as the wars in Afghanistan and the war on terror, I'm asking that you avoid emotional or rhetorical jabs at whatever side you think is the bogey man. The goal of this discussion is to reflect on the ethical and philosophical insights made by just war theory, and to refine your critical thinking skills by reflecting on a real-time issue. You are free, of course, to be as critical as you want (but as Kant might say, do so within the limits of reason).
