Passion And Nation: War, Crime, And Guilt In The Individual And The Collective, Steve Sheppard
Passion And Nation: War, Crime, And Guilt In The Individual And The Collective, Steve Sheppard
Steve Sheppard
Riffing off of George Fletcher's theory of Romanticism and war, the article reviews Fletcher's arguments, which received derisive reviews during the War against Iraq in 2003.

Citizens, it is said, are presumptively loyal; noncitizens are not. Thus, it is not irrational to focus on Arab noncitizens. Moreover, on a normative level, if citizens and noncitizens were treated identically, citizenship itself might be rendered meaningless. The very essence of war involves the drawing of lines in the sand between citizens of our …
