By subordinating military victory to perverse, allegedly moral constraints, Washington's policy has undermined our national security. Owing to the significant influence of Just War Theory and neoconservatism, the Bush administration consciously put the imperative of shielding civilians and bringing elections to them above the goal of eliminating real threats to our security. Consequently, this policy left our enemies stronger, and America weaker than before."--BOOK JACKET UR - https://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site&db=nlebk&AN=336404 ER -
