[Mature] What is a Justified War?

[Bra]

I believe a war of self-preservation - of life and of safety - is justifiable. Therefore, purely as an example, I won't argue why I think the way I do, I believe the war in Afghanistan is totally justifiable. The war in Iraq, which, thankfully, Canada has no involvement, is not.

Like Bardock, however, I will never blame the soldiers for doing their job. The fault is of politicians who have no understanding of war, not of the men and women who have volunteered in the spirit of protecting their homes.

However, Zangya has a point. Now that there is a war in Iraq, the onus is on the Americans to finish what they started. Don't leave the country in shambles just because public opinion tells you to.

The public is quick to forget the aftermath of such rash decisions. Vietnam, for instance, went to hell the minute America pulled out.
