In response to When is an illegal war morally defensible?

Thank you, Gareth Evans

Thank you, Gareth for your clear-eyed discussion of the nuances of legitimacy and illegality of war. I’ve been dismayed (to say the least) by the line being trod by the Australian government to not upset Donald Trump. I’ve written to the Prime Minister, Deputy PM and Foreign Minister to say the same. David Pope’s ‘tits on a bull’ cartoon expressed my sentiments very nicely. Thanks Pearls and Irritations for publishing thoughtful and challenging pieces.
