Just War Against Terror: The Burden of American Power in a Violent World Paperback - 2004

by Jean Elshtain

Elshtain addresses the Iraq war and other events in the Middle East, and advocates "just war" in times of crisis and mounts a reasoned attack against the anti-war contingent in American intellectual life.


First line

IN ALBERT CAMUS'S NOVEL The Plague, an allegory on the coming of totalitarian terror, one of the protagonists comments acerbically on the naive reactions in a time of crisis of those he calls the "humanists," people who see themselves as living in a reasonable world in which everything is up for negotiation.
