Shamoo claims that the basis for discrimination by class, religion, or ethnic identity is the perceived lack of equal worth among human beings. This book posits three ethical principles by which the concept of equal worth can be used in a practical manner to resolve conflicts and wars. Shamoo utilizes the wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Israel-Palestine to demonstrate the lack of morals in resolving these conflicts. He argues that once the principle of equal worth is adopted in foreign policy, humanity will be able to achieve peace."--Publisher's website Preface -- Morality of wars -- Modern policies and practice of wars -- Principles of a moral war--a new approach -- Terrorism or insurgency -- War in Afghanistan -- Invasion of Iraq -- Palestinian-Israeli conflict -- Morals in the age of one super-power |
