Similar subjects come up on some political BB's fairly regularly, and the hawks don't seem to mind the contradiction inherent in firmly believing we are in Iraq to remove those who would do evil acts, and then justify our own evil acts because of the enemy's actions.

Are we better than them...or not?

If we are (the justification for being there), then does it make sense to in any way justify immoral behavior on our part with the actions of those who we condemn?

If we're not, then why are we there?

Fish on...
