Iraq was not a morally justified conflict, as well as being illegal
...in your opinion. Only the UNSC can rule it illegal, and they will not.
It is has brought violence to our doorstep
Are you suggesting that it wasn't here BEFORE the invasion?
achieved nothing for the Iraqi people
...apart from freedom from a brutal dictator, and a democratically elected govt (that may or may not work for them - only time will tell).
I do see your point, in that you didn't join up to do something you fundamentally disagree with; however, we are not here to have political or moral opinions - we're here to do as we're told. The govt, on advice from the country's top lawyer, said it is legal - so go do it.
To borrow a line from a film, we're here to preserve democracy - not to practice it.
