A little question . . .

Are there any legal and moral wars?
A study of history would indicate that wars (whether instigated by politicians or monarchs) are generally about money and power, with perhaps a variation of power and money - however it's dressed up. WMD was a great ploy - when you consider the Chief Weapons Inspector said that there wasn't any evidence, and they were paying HIM to look.
Anyone who joins the US military - especially after 9/11 is naive (to say the least). With recent US foreign policy (way before this clown - post WW2) anyone who doesn't expect to go into someone else's country is a bit of a dick.
I'm not really interested in politics, but governments really do push the credibility envelope and moan like hell when individuals do the same. Guess who'll win though?
