Was Britain right to go to war with Iraq?
When one country decides to wage war on another, there must be justifications for military action. The main question that governs over whether a country is right to wage war in modern times, is in essence, are the inhabitants of the country that will be invaded going to benefit more in terms of freedom and lifestyle, and loss of life, by being conquered, or are they going to benefit more by being left to their own devices?
The outcome of a war always has to be beneficial towards the country being attacked. ...
The motives for going to war with Iraq were essentially based on the abuse of the Iraqi nation and people by their dictator – Saddam Hussein. ... However, there were other motives: the rather overused term “Weapons of Mass Destruction” featured strongly in the run up to war. ... Whether or not the “45 minute claim” is wholly accurate should not concern our moral judgement on the war: if Saddam was in possession of these WMD’s, then he was in breach of a contract that he had made after the last Gulf war, and that constituted Britain’s right to go to war.
