How many people were killed in the invasion? How many have been killed so far trying to suppress the insurgents? How many have fallen in looting or banditry due to the further breakdown of social order?
How can you morally argue that it's okay for those people to have been killed in order to prevent the deaths of others? You can, actually. But not on absolute morality grounds. You have to look to moral relativism. Because we are human, after all, and we cannot deal in absolutes in a relative world.
