N2  - The following termpaper is about the “Operation Iraqi Freedom” with the main aim to make a research whether this war was a just war or was it  more a morally wrong act of the USA and their allied forces. To have an overview about this topic, it begins with a short definition of Just War. It continue with the “Jus ad bellum”, so the legitimate reasons for going  to war. This part includes all important criteria for the Iraqi War: the just cause, the last resort, the chance of success and the proportional end. Firstly each condition will be explained in general and after it assigned to the Iraq War. For this work it is also necessary to analyze the “Jus in bello”, so the justice conditions in war. The relevant criteria in this part are the distinction and the military necessity. The end will summarize all important facts of this research, shortly point out my own view and answer the final question whether it was a just or unjust war.
