    You can moralise all you want about this war
    but wars are won and lost on power and the
    ability to project it ....its called Geopolitics.

    King Harold and the then Poms thought they
    were morally right in defending Britain against
    the Normans but the Normans knocked them
    off because of a superior military force.

    Post reformation there were many wars between
    Protestants and Catholics but in every case
    the most powerful won...not necessarily the side with
    the most convincing moral argument

    Similarily on other wars since then there have been
    victories and losses with both sides claiming the moral high ground.

    And so it is with this war....the outcome will have nothing to do with
    morality but instead who is the most powerful.

    The Aboriginies and the Maori had a resounding moral argument
    to win the wars against the Pommy invader but that was
    worth diddly Squat and of course today we are the beneficiaries.

    So in summary, morality is a motivation for the plebs to motivate
    them to volunteer as cannon fodder but no match for superior
    fire power.../
