Liberating Iraqis is Main Justification for War
(Toronto Star) Rosie DiManno - The most urgent and compelling reason for invading Iraq is the one never mentioned by bickering diplomats at the UN: 24 million Iraqis, 24 years of barbarous misrule, government by thuggery. France and Russia care so profoundly for peace? The Russians have been so restrained in Chechnya, responsive to international condemnation of atrocities committed by its troops? The French-brokered peace deal in the Ivory Coast has worked so well? I don't understand why liberating Iraqis - Sunnis, Shiites, Kurds, Christians, Turkomans - from despotic tyranny has such little moral traction.
