their is no justification
tell me,when you look at this picture can you really say that the war we are fighting is really justified. their was no weapons of mass destruction. and we continue to lose innocent people on both sides? what is all this madness for, oil ? if so, can we consider going to war for that and is going to war for oil justifiable. this is not a country of democracy this is a dictatorship, and if your not aboard then you will get rolled over. just like Iraq. and Iran might be next.

I agree with your point that there were no weapons of mass destruction and that this war could have been only for oil, but attacking the war based on the butality of killed combatants and the number of people killed is not attacking the Bush Administration from an ethical standpoint. There is always going to be killing in war and there will always be people who are mutilitated by opposing forces, but to attack a country for this is not attacking from a just war theory standpoint. And I think it is a bit much because this simply plays on people's emotional and sympathetic characteristics, not their intellectual and ethical frames of mind.
yes, you are right. their's going to be people killed in war. and i understand that. and i 'am cool with it. if it is for the right reasons. as far as the picure goes. did our government use pictures of 911 to back their justification for going to war. was that not their just cause. that Saddam had something to do with the towers. they played on the publics emotions.
I think appeals to sympathy/emotion, while definitely having a place in arguments about the matter, do not themselves prove anything at all.
Sympathy is not in principle opposed to rationality: We do our best to allow reason to direct and build on intuitions about proper levels of sympathy or care.
