Poll question: Is an invasion force, regardless of the reasons given for it, a vile action by a barbaric govt?
Edited on Mon Jan-04-10 04:35 PM by Divine Discontent
It's a new year, a new decade & we're fighting old wars in old lands, for the same old reasons.

Do you think the reasons given are not enough, and it's a barbaric action, or do you think it's the best option to the threats?

1. What if the nation being invaded had directly attacked the invading nation's capital?
Invasions can't always be wrong can they?

2. if you believe that war is just, then no, invasions wouldn't always be wrong, if you are against a
wide-scale gathering of civilians being brought together to be prepared for war, then I think those same people would say invading, and not simply defending, would be wrong.

Nearly all of the 9/11 hijackers were Saudis if I'm not mistaken. Al-Qaeda just took up shop in Afghanistan because it was so messy, like most cultures who are far from civilized and don't respect human rights.

Good question though...
