(AFA - 2014) ETHICS OF WAR Human beings have been fighting each other since prehistoric times, and people have been discussing the rights and wrongs of it for almost as long. The Ethics of War starts by assuming that war is 5a bad thing, and should be avoided if possible, but it recognizes that there can be situations when warmaybe the lesser evil of several bad choices. War is a bad thing because it involves deliberately killing or injuring people, and this is a 10fundamental wrong an abuse of the victims human rights. The purpose of war ethics is to help decide what is right or wrong, both for individuals and countries, and to contribute to debates on public policy, and ultimately to 15government and individual action. War ethics also leads to the creation of formal codes of war (e.g. the Hague and Geneva conventions), the drafting and implementation of rules of engagement for soldiers, and in the punishment of soldiers and others 20for war crimes. The three key questions are: Is it ever right to go to war? When is it right to fight? What is the moral way to conduct a war? 25 The discussion of the ethics of war goes back to the Greeks and Romans, althoughneithercivilization behaved particularly well in war. In the Christian tradition war ethics were developed by St Augustine, and later by St Thomas 30Aquinas and others. Hugo Grotius (1583-1645), a Dutch philosopher and author of De Jure Belli Ac Pacis (The Rights of War and Peace), wrote down the conditions for a just war that are accepted today. 35 Cicero argued that there was no acceptable reason for war outside of just revenge or self-defence in which he included the defence of honor. He also argued that a war could not be just unless it was publicly declared and unless compensation 40for the enemys offence had first been demanded. Cicero based his argument on the assumption that nature and human reason influenced a society against war, and that there was a fundamental code of behavior for nations.

(AFA - 2014) SEPTEMBER 11 On September 11, 2001, nineteen militants associated with the Islamic extremist group al-Qaeda hijacked four airlines and carried out suicide attacks against targets in the United States. Two of the planes 5were flown into the towers of the World Trade Center in New York City, a third plane hit the Pentagon just outside Washington, D.C., and the fourth plane crashed in a field in Pennsylvania. Often referred to as 9/11, the attacks resulted in extensive death and destruction, activating 10major U.S. initiatives to combat terrorism and defining the presidency of George W. Bush. Over three thousand people were killed during the attacks in New York City and Washington, D.C., including more than four hundred police officers and firefighters. 15 At 8:45 a.m., on a clear Tuesday morning, an American Airlines Boeing 767 loaded with twenty thousand gallons of jet fuel crashed into the north tower of the World Trade Center in New York City. The impact left a wide, burning hole near the 80th floor of the 110- 20story skyscraper, instantly killing hundreds of people and trapping hundreds more in higher floors. Eighteen minutes after the first plane hit, a second Boeing 767 United Airlines Flight 175appeared out of the sky, turned sharply toward the World Trade Center and 25crashed into the south tower near the 60th floor. The collision caused a massive explosion that showered burning fragment over surrounding buildings and the streets below. America was under attack. The attackers were Islamic terrorists from Saudi 30Arabia and several other Arab nations. Reportedly financed by Saudi fugitive Osama bin Ladens al-Qaeda terrorist organization, they _____________(1) in retaliation for Americas support of Israel, its involvement in the Persian Gulf War and its continued military 35presence in the Middle East. Some of the terrorists had lived in the United States for more than a year and _____________(2) flying lessons at American commercial flight schools. As millions watched the events unfolding in New 40York, American Airlines Flight 77 circled over downtown Washington, D.C., and banged into the west side of the Pentagon military headquarters at 9:45 a.m. Jet fuel from the Boeing 757 caused a devastating inferno that led to the structural collapse of a portion of the giant concrete 45building. Less than fifteen minutes after the terrorists struck the nerve center of the U.S. military, the horror in New York took a catastrophic turn for the worse when the south tower of the World Trade Center collapsed in a massive cloud of dust and smoke. At 10:30 a.m., the 50other Trade Center tower collapsed. Close to three thousand people died in the World Trade Center and its vicinity, including an impressive three hundred and forty three firefighters and paramedics, twenty three New York City police officers and thirty seven Port Authority police 55officers who were struggling to complete an evacuation of the buildings and save the office workers trapped* on higher floors. Meanwhile, a fourth California-bound plane United Flight 93was hijacked about forty minutes after 60leaving Newark International Airport in New Jersey. Because the plane had been delayed in taking off, passengers on board learned of events in New York and Washington via cell phone calls to the ground. Knowing that the aircraft was not returning to an airport as the 65hijackers claimed, a group of passengers and flight attendants planned a rebellion. One of the passengers, Thomas Burnett Jr., told his wife over the phone that I know were all going to die. There are three of us who are going to do something about it. I love you, honey. 70Another passengerTodd Beamerwas heard saying Are you guys ready? Lets roll over an open line. The passengers fought the four hijackers and are suspected to have attacked the cockpit with a fire extinguisher. The plane then flipped over and sped 75toward the ground, crashing in a rural field in western Pennsylvania at 10:10 a.m. All forty-five people aboard were killed. Within two months, U.S. forces had effectively removed the Taliban from operational power, but the war continued. Osama bin Laden, was finally 80chased and killed by U.S. forces in Abbottabad, Pakistan.
