Ethics Thought Paper: Ethical Challenges in an Asymmetric Fight

Abstract

The War on Terrorism started on a beautiful September morning. On 11 September 2001, terrorists executed a horrendous attack on American soil, killing thousands of innocent Americans. For most Americans the attack came as a total shock, yet the Islamic extremist factions within the Muslim World declared Jihad on America long before the events of 9/11. Following the carnage of this attack, Americans united and the United States decided to hunt and kill the spineless individuals responsible for the massacre.
