Funny, I thought we were doing this because it was the safer course of action- but here you are saying:
we are "trying to create a state in the Middle East where freedom, democracy, human rights, market economics, secular government etc"
Turn turn turn goes the wheel of anorexic justifications....
Seems like if your going to go kill a bunch of people, you should decide on a reason, and not swap the old one out every time it is shown as untenable or unreasonable.
And it also strikes me that killing innocents for the ideals you just stated is screwing for the sake of chastity.
And its also damn close to pithy-sounding half-assed excuses for a war that make a disgusting parody of those very ideals you state.
