In favour of war

Anyone want to read this and then tell me they're not in favour of war?

I think there is considerably more justification for interfering when a nation invades another than when a nation is having internal problems.

I'm going to admit to not caring at all about nations. If people are hurting people then I think they should be stopped.

so we stop people hurting people by going in and hurting people? Sounds like a lot of six of one and half a dozen of the other.

And it's wrong to break up a fight by hurting people too.

If I see a rapist attacking someone it'd be wrong for me to punch him, because all violence is wrong.

Morals are relative - there's no absolutes involved here.

Thankfully, so far, the vast majority of the Iraqis are putting up no resistance or are actively surrendering. I'd really rather keep the bloodshed to a minimum. If this keeps up, it'll hopefully all be over as quickly as the first Gulf War was and the rebuilding can get started.
