Description
Fernando Teson offers two "humanitarian rationales" for the war in Iraq. The first, which he calls the "narrow" rationale, is that the war was fought to overthrow a tyrant. The second, "grand" rationale is that it was fought as part of a strategy for defending the United States by establishing democratic regimes in the Middle East and throughout the world--peacefully, if possible, but by force if necessary.

The first is narrow only in relation to the second, for it broadens the traditional understanding, which it also in effect rewrites.
