Why should I allow you to define history so narrowly?
Outcome is determined by origin and motive, at least in part.
The law recognizes this all the time. That's why we have gradations of lawful, and moral, behavior.
I see that you still maintain that our invasion of Iraq is only a logical extension of Iraq's invasion of Kuwait. Why have you not condemned Bush Senior for not finishing what was apparently a justified invasion while more allies were there to support the effort?
There are those who also believe that the two World Wars of the 20th century were only one conflict with a brief intermission. I don't agree with them, either.
