Whatever its value, the international debate over the war in Iraq has failed to question its underpinnings in modern strategic reason; specifically, the 20th-century development of Clausewitz's view that limited war is a rational, controllable means to a political end. This essay traces the development of this technological 'enframing' system of strategic reason from the scientific philosophy of Newton, Bacon and Descartes to the modernist thinking of Kissinger and US Persian Gulf policy from 1980 to the present. It argues that the containment and eventual invasion of Iraq thwarted a linear translation of means into ends, and questions the ethical implications of a perspective that makes territory, technology and human beings into mere tools for disposal and use. |
