It's not moral. War can never be a moral act, not even as a "last
resort." In the best case, war is a necessary evil. What is the moral
difference between a crusade and a jihad? A war on Iraq would not qualify as a just war, conforming to
a set of principles that have evolved among civilized societies. A just cause should not be confused with a
just war.
A war on Iraq for the purpose of
"regime change" would not be a legal war under international law. Article 2(4)
of the UN Charter states: “All Members shall refrain in their international
relations from the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or
political independence of any state, or in any other manner inconsistent with
the Purposes of the United Nations."
