A battle rages over the future of the law of war. It pits those who must plan and fight wars against those committed to reducing the suffering caused by war; it is a battle between the utilitarians or warriors, on one side, and the humanitarians on the other. The outcome of this battle may determine the future course of US defense, foreign, and security policy. It will certainly affect the legitimacy of our use of force. It will definitely affect our influence in the world
