Sorry....there ARE justifications for war. Too often our reasons are bogus.
Please understand me sir. I'm not a peace activist or flower child, but it isn't it incumbent on the the individual to ascertain whether he is fighting for the defense his country or an Imperialist agenda?
"Now that we're there".......seems I heard that same rationale in the sixties. When we left VN, the Communists didn't take over the world and we now do business with them. What was accomplished?
and now we are needed (according to the Sunni's and moderate Shia's) and are bound by International Law to stay until an authority is constituted to protect ...
Just how long would you like to stay?
The Sunnis and Shia need to get their act together. Guess you didn't hear the president when he visted the troops and told them that as well.
They heard him loud and clear and cheered what he said.
