The fact that its an unnecessary war is what makes it bad or evil in my mind. Why is that so hard to understand? If you believe a war is unnecessary and people are dying because of that war, how can you not think of the war as evil? Necessary, really means necessary for a particular purpose. You could mean "necessary for the survival or territorial integrity of our nation". If that is what you mean than this war certainly was not necessary, but most wars we have fought have not been necessary by that standard. The Revolutionary war was, maybe the War of 1812, the Civil War, and just possibly World War II, although a good argument could be made that it was not. IMO a war does not have to be necessary for the survival or territorial integrity of a nation, in order for it to not be evil. You might disagree but my position is not unusual or extreme. If you have another purpose in mind when you use the term "necessary" could you please state it. and does not look like it will bring freedom and democracy to the people of Iraq. You are assuming the war will be a failure. I do not make this assumption. Even if it did fail it wouldn't make the war evil, although it would make it a mistake, perhaps a quite severe one. Tim
