Making sure the force is proportional to the threat is the third principle. The threat that Iraq is producing weapons of mass destruction that could be used on our troops in that region of the world, other countries within that region, or even our own homeland poses enough threat to allow the U.S. to use force if Iraq doesn't follow the sanctions put upon them by the United Nations. The fourth principle is that in the war the military can't target civilians. The U.S. goes out of its way to keep civilians from harm's way during a war. They cancel many operations because they slightly give a hint of a possibility of civilian casualties. If they follow these measures in Iraq then the war would be just. The fifth principle states that collateral damage must be minimized. Going along with its policy of not targeting civilians and only those involved in the military will allow the U.S. to follow this principle. The sixth principle states that the war must be winnable. With the US's superior military strength, winning a war with Iraq is easily attainable. The seventh and last principle of the Just War Theory states that all other means must be tried before going to war. For years the U.S. has waited for the United Nations sanctions on Iraq to pull through, but the Iraqi government has refused to follow them. If they refuse again, then there will be no other choice but for the U.S. to use force against Iraq. It's the only way to destroy the threat that Iraq has to the United States and to nations all over the world. In going into a conflict with Iraq, many principles will apply that pertain to the social aspect of society. When any war is fought, it's socially accepted that all parties should fight the war in a dignified manner. It seems ironic to use the words war and dignified in the same sentence; however, dignified in this context refers to destroying the least amount of collateral damage as possible, taking prisoners of war and keeping them with respect to their humanity, targeting military personal only and not civilians, and by killing the least amount of opposition as possible with regard to the missions at hand.
