ABSTRACT
The book demonstrates that the arguments of Christian adherents of pacifism against war, either defensive or aggressive, were rejected. It reveals that there never has been, and certainly is not now, any conceivable basis for theological and philosophical argument in favour of military aggression or, even now, resort to military force as the first option in international relations. The book illustrates that the attackers' aims were not to rectify a particular situation in Iraq. It discusses that the state practice does not support the existence of unilateral intervention in the light of humanitarian intervention doctrine even in the best cases. The prelude to the Persian Gulf War disaster has shown that indifference towards an aggressor due to the interests of the superpowers led to an enormously high price being paid by the whole international community.
