No Moral Case Against the War

I used Rwanda to show how TW's general statement about going to war in a foreign country does not work because the rule he/she proposed would have rendered any U.S. support in Rwanda "morally unsupportable." To the extent one thinks some intervention in Rwanda would not have been immoral, then my example worked to show the uselessness of TW's simple proposed rule. From herein, I will refer to Taxwonk as "The Twit".
But, you fail to appreciate that my argument was based on two simple concepts: how can one argue that a violation of international law, especially one that involves killing people, even if those people are killing other people, be called "moral" in an absolute sense? Henceforth, I will think of you as "the simple."
