The leaked military documentation of actions in the Iraq war...
Saturday, October 23, 2010 at 7:53 Will bear much scrutiny and cause much recrimination and anger; perhaps after the initial media mushroom cloud has dissipated some good will happen because of the Wikileaks nonsense. I have to admit that my own first reaction is that, while one can in principle fight a just war and ought to (and that the US and Allied intervention in Iraq was strategically and politically justified and as legal in terms of international law as such things need to be), there has never been one waged without incidence of the profoundest cruelty and mayhem and the gravest of injustices. Time and investigation will tell if the war in Iraq was markedly 'worse' than other major conflicts. But the UN ideologues and bureaucrats can keep their own blood-stained fingers inside their cages at Turtle Bay....

And with a hundred thousand people dead each month in the United States because they've been aborted, the ideologues and bureaucrats at home might keep their selective moral outrage in check, too.
