Thomas Jefferson once declared: โI abhor war and view it as the greatest scourge of mankind.โ Two and a half centuries later, his words resonate with renewed urgency. This commentary examines Jeffersonโs Enlightenment conviction that reason, diplomacy, and the rule of law must always prevail over armed conflict โ and measures that vision against the troubling reality of our own times, from the invasion of Iraq to the ongoing wars in Ukraine, Gaza and Iran.
