Why is USA in Iraq?

[Rogue 9]

So if this does not mean the end jusitifies the means what does it mean? You are saying the Iraqi people are better off now. That implies you are saying the end justifies what USA has is doing.

Ever try "to help the Iraqi people," maybe? The news aside, the Iraqis are far better off than they were under a leader who would order mass gassings of his own people.

Ah, I see where you're coming from. You're defining war as inherently evil, no matter what the cause. Sorry, wrong, next.

Sure. All I need to prove that war is not always evil is one example that was not. I offer the Second World War. Unless you'd care to tell me that allowing the Holocaust to come to its completion and letting Hitler conquer the world would be preferable to going to war, I win. And if you do care to tell me that, I win anyway; it just means a few more posts of debate. :P

And AGAIN you promote a "let us do evil that good may result" and "the end justifies the means" concept.

Here is what YOU propose. That if Christians would not have fought by killing Christian brethren then God would have lost out and Hitler and his ways would have won.

Good one. Your problem is that you trust the ways of men and not the ways of God.

The Christian response is NEVER war.

NOW, are you gonna let those abortion doctors down the street bring that Holocaust "to completion" or ya gonna take up arms and kill 'em?

Ghandi was once asked if peacefull tactics would work against the Nazis. His response (and I'm paraphrasing) was-

"There would be many losses, and much pain, but is this not true of any war?"
