War in Iraq: Not a Humanitarian Intervention

[Doomstone]

I'm sure nobody here will read it, but this is a damn good article that basically puts to rest the Bush administration's "humanitarian" justification for their war:

Human Rights Watch (http://hrw.org/wr2k4/3.htm#_Toc58744952)

In sum, the invasion of Iraq failed to meet the test for a humanitarian intervention. Most important, the killing in Iraq at the time was not of the exceptional nature that would justify such intervention. In addition, intervention was not the last reasonable option to stop Iraqi atrocities. Intervention was not motivated primarily by humanitarian concerns. It was not conducted in a way that maximized compliance with international humanitarian law. It was not approved by the Security Council. And while at the time it was launched it was reasonable to believe that the Iraqi people would be better off, it was not designed or carried out with the needs of Iraqis foremost in mind.



There's much more where that came from.

Shocking as it is, Wadd is right.

There's a generic Iraq thread that's the other most active thread in this forum. Use that for this kinda stuff instead.

Why are we still in Iraq? (http://www.ronfez.net/messageboard/viewmessages.cfm/Forum/87/Topic/36464/page/Why_are_we_still_in_Iraq_.htm)
