Choose 5 points from Just War theory--apply to WWI
Is it a just war??? Choose five. Answer and explain. SEE TEXT!!!
A just war can only be waged as a last resort. All non-violent options must be exhausted before the use of force can be justified.
A war is just only if it is waged by a legitimate authority. Even just causes cannot be served by actions taken by individuals or groups who do not constitute an authority or country.
A just war can only be fought to redress a wrong suffered. For example, self-defense against an armed attack is always considered to be a just cause (although the justice of the cause is not sufficient--see point #4). Further, a just war can only be fought with "right" intentions: the only permissible objective of a just war is to redress the injury.
A war can only be just if it is fought with a reasonable chance of success. Deaths and injury incurred in a hopeless cause are not morally justifiable.
The ultimate goal of a just war is to re-establish peace. More specifically, the peace established after the war must be preferable to the peace that would have prevailed if the war had not been fought.
The violence used in the war must be proportional to the injury suffered. States are prohibited from using force not necessary to attain the limited objective of addressing the injury suffered.
The weapons used in war must discriminate between combatants and non-combatants. Civilians are never permissible targets of war, and every effort must be taken to avoid killing civilians. The deaths of civilians are justified only if they are unavoidable victims of a deliberate attack on a military target.

period 6 ONLY!! 3 QUestions for Obama; What are his answers?!!
Information for questions
WASHINGTON – Obama plans to send 30,000 more troops to over six months, a said Tuesday, on an accelerated timetable that would dispatch several hundred Marines by Christmas.
With the full complement of troops expected by next summer, the heightened pace of Obama's in the 8-year-old war would appear to match the 2007 troop surge in Iraq , which rushed 20,000 to quell violence there.
In his prime-time speech to the nation Tuesday night Obama will tie the escalation to an exit , laying out a rough timeframe and some dates for when the main war would end.
Obama will try to sell a skeptical public on his bigger, costlier war plan by coupling the large new troop infusion with an emphasis on stepped-up training for Afghan forces that he says will allow the U.S. to leave.
The quick addition of Marines would provide badly needed reinforcements to those fighting against Taliban gains in the southern Afghanistan.
Obama also will insist that a specific withdrawal scenario be built into the process of adding new forces. Obama would lay out an endgame for U.S. involvement.
