actually no it wasnt self defence or the UN would sanction it. As for peacekeeping... again nato or the UN or similar backs that up... which isnt happening really in iraq. Afghanistan yes it is.
I support the operation in afghanistan. |
So clearly, what constitutes a real *justification* is a mater of argument, and if you care to examine the details of any given justification, more closely-- even a popularly believed justification, IE: "911 + Iraq + ((WMD?< democracy) X Saddam Humane) / terrorism = WAR"... you may find that it's in fact bullshit.
Get my point?

dictatorship is not 100% morally wrong. |
Neither is slavery. Counter argument, munky. Use it.
