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.../
