THE WAR ON TERRORISM: A JUSTWAR? 61<br />

the four nations now engaged most directly in the “war against<br />

terrorism” were themselves engaged in nuclear terrorism for<br />

decades, targeting cities with their innocent inhabitants, so as to<br />

threaten other governments,<br />

The conclusion of this article is that the JWD, with all its<br />

defects, provides us with moral resources without which we<br />

would be worse off. But it is only when the objective criteria of<br />

the doctrine are combined with the subjective virtue of charity,<br />

and justice, that the assessments required by the doctrine can be<br />

made in a genuinely moral way.<br />
