摘要：The author argues that in the run-up to British participation in the Iraq War, the Guardian slightly privileged war-critical arguments as compared to war-supporting arguments. It was probably helpful to the British government that the Guardian characterized the Iraqi regime mainly as problematic and dangerous. However, the government's arguments did not win recognition in any other argumentation area. The impression dominated that war would result in casualties and costs, that it would be based on illegitimate goals and that it would be counter-productive in reaching legitimate goals. Moreover, the domestic decision-making process was evaluated as undemocratic, and the commitment to military power was judged as violating international law. The question of a possible post-war order was only marginally discussed.
