It seems to me that the test of a "just" war is simple: Have you been =
attacked in your own territory? Are you likely to be attacked again? =
Are your people - your extended family - in danger? If we are unwilling =
or unable to defend ourselves then we are too weak to survive as a =
culture, much less as a world leader.
As for "America's New War": it seems to me we are fighting the wrong =
country altogether. If we are at war with any actual state it seems =
like that state should be Saudi Arabia. =20
