I don't know the answer to that. I was against invading Iraq but struggle with that issue. It reminds me of all the out cry about Darfur. When do you draw the line? |
If our reason for going to war is to free the oppressed, then let's be upfront about it and let's be consistent. Personally, I opposed invading Iraq and Afghanistan but supported going to Darfur and Rwanda. What we Americans do not accept readily is that we cannot be the morals arbiter for the world. We need to insist that others step up to the plate.
