Quote by: Nurf  When a country is at war, there is no such thing as moral obligation, to a certain point. I don't believe that the US should police the world, but we went into Iraq for a reason, and that reason was to replace their leader and rebuild their government. If we pull out early, nothing good will happen. All the president is doing is staying in Iraq until the job he set out to do is done. |
Who says when it comes to war there is no moral obligation? I guess it doesn't matter who says that, but a justification of such a statement is in order. We went into Arab territory for oil. Period. The US has been on an immoral course since 1920's when it was aware that the consumption of oil would sooner or later lead to economic disaster and war. The US knowingly remained on the path of economic disaster and war, or at least should have been aware of this reality, because there is no excuse for not being aware of it. How is it justified to claim there is no moral obligation directly tied to staying on a path of war and then actually engaging in war, killing thousands of people and spending the last of national wealth, making this dying country a debtor country?
