Catholic Just War Theory Applied

[arisbe]

"Is the political objective we seek to achieve important, clearly defined and understood? Have all other nonviolent policy means failed? Will military force achieve the objective? At what cost? Have the gains and risks been analyzed? How might the situation that we seek to alter, once it is altered by force, develop further and what might be the consequences?" -- General Colin Powell, 1992

Though, you have to admit, its interesting that there
is a selective application of critique for the current
war as opposed to say World War II the last "good" war.

War is never good, but it is about survival. If I have
to throw in with a side I throw in with America because
I can sue someone like Tammy Baker.

Try that in Iran.
