"So please stop the BS about just wars" James, I believe the Iraqi people would welcome the removal of Hussein & that they don't have the means to execute this task. Can you honestly tell me that there have been no just wars? Was the liberation of Europe in WW2 unjust? If you ask Afghani women today whether the war to end the Taliban rule was just, what do you think they would say? We imposed military rule & Democracy on Japan following WW2. Was this unjust? It was against their will.

So please stop the BS about just wars. The ONLY way any war is just is that those four letters form part of the word "justified". There is a difference. Would you feel the same way if your neighborhood turned into a bunch of crack houses and a center for organized gang activity?? I mean... it seems to me the corrollary to your logic about Iraq would proclude Police EVER engaging in a raids, arrests, or protecting/rescuing any neglected children living inside.. Children who hare effectively being held hostage by the gang leaders... How could the police ever enforce the law if they had to live under the obligation to never take a human life, even that of a criminal. Hawk
