Moral Reflections on Foreign Policy in a Religious War argues that
foreign policy thinkers and actors must take religion more seriously
than they have in analysis and action. The tragedy of U.S. policy in
Iraq is in part due to the dangers of ignoring religious conflicts in
that country until it was too late, and then responding too lightly.
Working as a philosopher of religion and politics, Stone shows how
both in the United States and the Middle East unreflective religion in
a dialogic relationship with politics power has proven hazardous.
Stone proposes policy changes for the United States based on his
analysis and calls for reform in the ways that both politics and
religion are understood. Without peace between religions, there will
be no peace in the Middle East. Without understanding how religion
functions in international politics, the United States is doomed to
repeat disastrous policies in the Middle East.
