The Gulf War and the Concept of “Just War”
[ send me this paper ]
This 6 page report discusses the origins and outcomes of the Persian Gulf conflict. This report also considers the context of what historians and social theorists call a “just war” or the “just war doctrine” and how it was viewed in terms of modern understanding of what is and is not just war. It can be argued that it was a battle over natural resources (oil) and it can be argued that it was an essential action taken to protect a small nation from an aggressor. The question of whether or not the Gulf War was a just war has to be asked because it is emblematic of the ways in which modern humanity views its rights and obligations in the world.
