Precisely what "ends" justify the means Jacob? The war in Iraq came to fucking nothing. NOTHING. There was no threat of WMDs, therefore all those people were killed for nothing. There were no "ends". And don't come back at me with any shit about Saddam Hussein being the real threat because he wasn't. You don't send an army to arrest one person. If he was such a big threat to the world then he could've been assassinated by a sniper during the first gulf war.
What the fuck do you really know about the peace in Iraq prior to Saddam's capture? For someone who has niether been to Iraq or claims to disbelieve everything he hears in the media, this is a very telling statement. The death of soldiers and civillians as a result of the war isn't justified at all, because NOBODY has a right to kill someone else merely to satisfy their own means. It's insane to suggest that people should suffer and die to maintain your idea of a utopian world where everything is perfect... it's borderline nazi. Do you think that, as an innocent Iraqi is falling toward the ground having been shot by a bullet, he is actually celebrating that in the future life will be "better" for Iraqis?
The war in Iraq isn't even over. The Americans are still there causing havoc as usual. They're still encountering resistance. They're still being blown up by suicide bombers, who are the only REAL Iraqis who feel that their death will improve the world.
You loathe the fact that "people go on and on about the war"? Give a shit? No. I'll still go on about the war as much as I like, and if you don't like that, then good for you buddy, you just carry on posting your stupid "the war was justified so stop talking about it" bullshit and see how far it gets you.
