well.. Posibly your friends points that he articulates with republican idealism is that you look at the evolution of the man and the evolution of society, govenment, culture and then you cross that with the current future view with global warming, the pending energy crisis, the new world exchanges, euro's etc.. etc....
the human raise is enivitably heading for one thing ... essentially some form of a World State and/or simply stronger enforced guidance from international comunities (u.n. etc..)
toppling dicators (preferably IMO from clasified operations), ensuring against genocide and policing human rights is a nesesary step to that. the argument for entry into Iraq can still be argued. I still probably see it as mostly a nessesary evil and a more open dipolomany and/or war with Syria, Iran etc... is probably eventaully a nessecity to. These things are needed for the pending world state / U.N.ish thing to begin to flourish. The quicker we bind together the quicker we can ensure the future prosperity of the human race.
Also amazes me how in these arguments rarely do people discus the filming of Iraqi Convoys entering these to be inspected sites the day before inpection, loading stuff, and leaving. While this would not stand in a court of law it is super very very suspicious.
