glenn - somewhere I wrote that in war a different set of laws apply than during peace. This does not resolve the issue that any party in a war should shed the very basic norms of humanity and morality. As to Iraq and the effort of regime change to secure a larger area rich in energy supplies as described in my post is not necessary a violation of war laws by an entity who removes a regime who systematically is violating same laws engaging in systematic oppression by torture and random killing of people or engaged in bouts of extermination of ethnic groups within his country Would not like to dwell to much on the subject but an nation / state entity can and should attack another nation who poses a proven treat to the other nation or world stability after all other means are exhausted. I think we disagree on this issue More specifically I do justify the war in Iraq and the removal of the Baath Party from power but strongly disagree with the policies implemented afterwards for which thousand of people are paying with their lives and substantial injuries for which many are maimed for life not to mention loss of wealth. All could have been handled differently and the roots of the mistakes are well before the war started
