John,

Well said. I appreciate your comment and feel the same.

Jer,

All I'm saying is terms like "moral justification" or "just cause"
are all
nothing more than a matter of personal opinion. Who is to say what
is the
"objective" rational for doing anything? President Bush gave his
reasons
for going into Iraq. His reasons appeared to have "justification"
behind
it. Yet, many disagreed with him. Who is to say he reasons or
justification was right or the opposing opinion is right?

I perfectly understand what you are saying, but I'm telling you
there is no
absolute answer. Sure, we the majority can vote out of office anyone
we
disagree with it, but in doing so does that mean we the voters are
right?
Too often, "we the people" are wrong because we are easily mislead
by others
(media, etc.). It's all a crap shoot. All we can do is trust our
leaders
to try and make the best decisions - morally based or otherwise -
and hope
it works out for the best. A Republic was never intended to
guarentee
anything more than that.
