Unwise? Perhaps; we will see.

But immoral?

Tutu tells Blair: Apologise for 'immoral' war

I don't think so. Not at all, in fact.

very persuasive argument you have there!

I don't know. I happen to believe that the removal of Saddam Hussein was a good thing, because he was one of the world's more dreadful tyrants, and he is no longer killing Iraqis. To me, that on its own seems a good reason for fighting the war.

No question about that, Michael. That's my ambivalence. The war has done good things but we are nowhere near the end game and my doubts are whether our President has the skill to carry it off. That's why I distinguish between the wisdom of the timing/method/followthrow etc etc of the war and the supposed "immorality of it.

There can be a lauable & moral goal -- saving a dog marooned on a somewhat-fronzen lake" -- but simply walking out there to fetch it might be very unwise.
