Casus belli is a Latin expression meaning the justification for acts of war. Casus means "incident", "rupture" or indeed "case", while belli means bellic ("of war"). It is usually distinguished from casus foederis, with casus belli being used to refer to offenses or threats directly against a nation, and casus foederis to refer to offenses or threats to another, allied, nation with which the justifying nation is engaged in a mutual defense treaty, such as NATO.

History Chanel The Unknown Known http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... SAT JULY 19, 9:30 PM Errol Morris offers a mesmerizing portrait of Donald Rumsfeld, one of the key architects of the Iraq War. Rumsfeld takes the stage as the writer/performer of his own life, reading selections from his "snowflakes," the tens of thousands of memos he composed as a congressman and as an advisor to four different presidents, twice as Secretary of Defense. As a writer, Rumsfeld is resolute, philosophical, and fond of maxims and rules; as a performer, he is no less restrained than he was during his bravura Iraq War press conferences and just as provocative. Love him or hate him, you cannot tear your eyes away from the Donald Rumsfeld in THE UNKNOWN KNOWN, whether he is reading from his memos, parrying questions from Morris, or seen in period video. 7 -30 Frontline http://www.pbs.org/wgbh... - Thomas Page
