    all war is bullshit...
    Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
    and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
    over specific principles, goals, and policies.

    Sounds like another G.I. Revolt is brewing up.

    A war's morality isn't measured by whom it benefits. So I'll ask you again:

    Why is this a bullshit war?

    Some Iraqis? Really? Who?
    And you think that the handful of people who are benefiting from this war outweigh those whose lives have been lost or ruined?

    It's a bullshit war because it's based on false premises.

    You can only argue that the wrapping up of the war is not bullshit.

    Precisely. Now perhaps my position within this thread might make more sense to some.

    Those in the areas of peace that exist in Iraq. Not every place in Iraq is a destitute warzone.

    Of course not. But, again, a benefit or lackthereof don't morally justify a war. Something isn't morally good just because people benefit.
