Good point el viajero! Every war is easy to support from an "ends justify the means" standpoint. And why? Because when one uses that approach, they are basing "the ends" on a fallacy - i.e., their relative predictions on a situation when in fact the true "ends" could be something completely different than what they expect.

This is a slippery slope these "ends justify the means" people are walking (or slipping) on...where decisions are not made on the basis of facts but instead on the basis of PREDICTIONS.

Like you said - who is next? Who does Bush want next?

And another question concerning Bush's "foundation" for this war...
