Galloway: Murder of Blair Would Be "Morally Justified"

[econ21]

So if we were invaded by the US, our nation bombed and our government deposed, there would be no justification to attack the leader of the army which had invaded us?

Idaho, I think you have to pick sides. Is the cause just? If it is, it may be morally justified to kill for it. If I were a soldier, I would not fight for a war I did not believe in. That is becau I do not think it would be morally just to kill for an unjust war.

Frankly, I don't even see the cause these insurgents are fighting for. It's like the final scene in Apocalypse Now: "You disapprove of my methods?" "I don't see any method". Here, I don't see any cause.

It is not to repel an invasion anymore. That's history; it's over. The US and the Brits are leaving - they've already retreated to their green zones and armoured vehicles.

Is it to overthrow a government backed by the majority Shias and their well-armed neighbour, Iran? Probably, who knows? But if it is, on a practical level, good luck to them - they're going to need it. But on a moral level, the outcome of their insurgency will only be prolonged bloodletting and a failed state (or three). And that is not a morally justified cause.
