Epilogue and apologies

[pokerjo22]

Daryn didn't get a reply because he was taking the piss out of both of us.

As for the Iraq thread it pretty much sums up my thoughts. I think the risk of terrorism is exaggerated and I don't see how it justifies the loss of life, on both sides.

The argument that we made the Iraqis lives better by getting rid of Hussein applies to any dictatorship, but I don't see us rushing into war with somewhere like Myanmar (it would be better if we did - at least then it would confirm we weren't acting in our own self-interest).

Its not like I'm some pinko commie - this is the only war I've ever opposed, and it all stems from it being pre-emptive. I just don't believe its morally justified to attack a country because you think they might be thinking of attacking you. If that's the case, the Japanese were justified in bombing Pearl Harbor.

Anyway, politics. Wrong forum. Mods notified.
