When we take a look back at the way Western states have fought
terrorist organizations in the last 20 years, it is difficult not
to think that these alternatives to war might have been more
ethical than the decisions to invade Afghanistan and Iraq in 2001
and in 2003. These cases speak for themselves as they have both led
to the death of hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians, which
is highly paradoxical in light of the logic that supported these
interventions. There is a need to think of alternatives to war that
will imply the legitimization of proactive sets of measures that
would allow states to effectively prevent terrorist attacks through
the use of kinetic force in a limited extent as a way to avoid the
terrible and unpredictable effects of wars. Violent Alternatives to
War: Justifying Actions Against Contemporary Terrorism engages in a
moral discussion of the challenges associated with violent
alternatives to war when confronting terrorism and suggests a
comprehensive approach to how this form of violence can be
legitimized and how it ought to be used against this contemporary
threat.
