    Easy.

    A justified war is a Popular revolution. An unjustified war is one without a popular revolution.

    So, Libya was justified, Iraq was not.

    After all, look how good that turned out for us.
    Hammer, anvil, forge and fire, chase away The Hoofed Liar. Roof and doorway, block and beam, chase The Trickster from our dreams.
    Vigilance is our shield, that protects us from our squalid past. Knowledge is our weapon, with which we carve a path to an enlightened future.

    How do you define 'popular'? 51%? Would the US have been more justified had it supported the Shiite revolt in '91? What's the shelf life on popular revolts? One would assume Shiite/Kurdish feelings would not have softened towards Hussein since that time.
