War for defense of freedom would be justified-or war with a specific goal to protect or secure freedom for an oppressed group only after all other options fail and only if carefully planned with the highest purpose and honor in our hearts would it be justified-if our men and woman are going to risk their lives or the lives of others -in that instance-love would drive one to war.
I believe waging war for economical advantage is immoral because of the death and destruction to humanity. I think even more immoral is leading one to believe it is for a high purpose when it is really about economical advantage. I think the invasion of Iraq includes both of these examples-I think this adminstration was dealing in the latter-however some of our troops are engaged in the pursuit of freedom for others and are simply following orders - that is why the best and worst of humanity are clearly seen in Iraq.
