'The Tragedy of Just War'

Activists of Islami Jam torch US and Israeli flags
Activists of Islami Jamiat Talaba, a student wing of Pakistan's main fundamentalist Islamic party of Jamaat-i-Islami, torch U.S. and Israeli flags as they shout slogans during an anti-U.S. rally in Karachi on July 16, 2008. They condemned the recent bombings in Pakistani tribal areas by U.S.-led coalition forces from neighboring Afghanistan. White House hopeful Barack Obama on July 15 promised to shift the 'single-minded' U.S. focus on Iraq to Al-Qaeda sanctuaries in tribal Pakistan as part of a sweeping new blueprint for U.S. foreign policy.
