There's a huge moral case for not going. Iraq never attacked us. And call me an old school conservative, but I don't think we are the world's policeman. I don't care if "Freedom is on th march" elsewhere. I just want it here. Selfish? No, realistic.
But its undisputed that we're not in Iraq for moral reasons anyway, so this debate is pointless. Strategy and morality are two very different concepts. The only way morality enters into the Iraq debate is to provide an after the fact excuse for a strategic move.
