For Once, Your Logic Is Deeply Flawed

Mark Eby — 4/5/2003 2:21:36 PM (archived)

MaryAnne,

Usually I find your comments to be very well thought out. This one is a huge exception. The morality of a war action is not determined by the numer of lives lost, but whether the action results in a net loss of lives or a net saving of lives. Comparisons of Hiltler and Saddam are totally inappropriate because they have no relation to each other. A US liberation versus continued control by Saddam are.

Regards,
Mark
