In 2003, President Bush determined that it was vital to the national security of the United States to invade Iraq and force the removal of Saddam Hussein's government. In addition to the brutality Hussein inflicted on his people, including the use of chemical weapons, the Bush Administration believed Hussein was in possession of weapons of mass destruction. Colin Powell appeared before the United Nations to show aerial photographs that were interpreted as proof that Iraq was pursuing a nuclear weapon. Hussein's refusal to cooperate with international inspectors lent credence to this belief. Further, the President accused Hussein of cooperating with al-Qaeda. According to "just war" theorists, the belief that a nation is justified in going to war when they have suffered unjust injuries (such as 9/11) and to protect the state (such as against a nuclear weapon) is rooted in:
A) positivist law.
B) natural law.
C) the principle of double effect.
D) the "front page" test.
