Global Feuding: Regime Change and Retribution

  • Chapter
Leadership Accountability in a Globalizing World

  • 42 Accesses

Abstract

In 2001, global leadership accountability seemed to go wrong. The plane attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon and over Pennsylvania on 11 September (9/11) which killed around 3,000 civilians, subsequent further crimes termed ‘terrorism’ and the US-led military responses all represented retributive accountability. The 9/11 attacks rationalized US-led military retaliation, first in Afghanistan because it hosted al-Qaida, and then in Iraq, which was falsely linked with al-Qaida. The US-led action was presented in relation to a so-called ‘axis of evil’ — which included Iraq, Iran and North Korea — within the slogan a ‘war against terrorism’. The Iraq invasion appeared to mimic terrorist tactics — it was named ‘shock and awe’.

A democratic society in its thirst for liberty may fall under the influence of bad leaders.

Plato, Tyranny, The Republic (c.400 BC, 8:563)

You can fight on the side of the angels and nevertheless commit crimes against humanity.

Desmond da Silva, Deputy Prosecutor at Sierra Leone Special Court, 20041
