Democracy is, without question, the most advanced system of governance in the world. But that alone is insufficient to rationalize the waging of a conflict of "liberation".

Well, first of all its not just the installation of democracy that is the rational for war, it is also the elimination of the dictatorial government that existed under Saddam all the well documented wrongdoings and misery that it produced.

And as for arguing that installation of democracy is not a justification for war, what is? In which cases (other than a response to a direct attack or blatantly impending attack) is war justified, if not in the current case?
