| I think the true test of whether or not this is a 'just' war remains to be seen. First of all, does Iraq really have chemical or biological weapons? Second, how will the US replace the current government, will they claim ownership of the country (and its oil) or will they allow the Iraqi's their own form of self governing? In order for it to be just, the US cant just be in it only for their own benefit, as to get cheaper oil or takeover of the country, of course the end result may be cheaper oil either way, I suppose, but that shouldn't be the goal. (I don't think it is, but it may be). I do think the greatest concern here is the US not working with the UN. Even if the UN is slow to make decisions, or weak in following up on inspections, there needs to be that accountability not only for Iraq but for the US. They are so powerful that they have become unstoppable. Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely. They may be right in this current situation, but what of future situations? Who will stand in their way?
