Quote:This is a strange definition of the word "Justified". That always seemed to have something to do with justice. If their intentions are questionable, and they didn't have the "right", what justice are you referring to? Perhaps you mean "moralized into existence"? That's certainly true. But, then, so were the crusades. Nations have no business being the guardian angels of the world. If there is a god, he'll deal with it. If there isn't, invoking his name to invade countries is in pretty bad taste.
The justice I am referring to is the duty of everyone to abolish any regime that causes so much suffering to people like Saddam´s did as soon as possible. The Baath regime had to end, and there was no possibility in sight that could have ended it from inside, or without war.
I would rather support a position that does the right thing (remove the Baath regime) for the wrong reasons (geostrategical thoughts, economic advantages, etc) than one that does the wrong thing (keep Saddam in power) for the "right" reasons.
