Default Re: Does \"ordering actions which result in the deaths of innocent Iraq

I think to the OP, the issue here is intentions. Anybody familiar with law is familiar with intentions, and justice is administered to people based upon their intentions.

Saddam murdered hundreds of thousands of people, he even rose to power in the Ba'athist party by assasinating people, and his intentions were explicit and clear; murder.

The ordering of the Iraq war had many intentions, but the intentions (aka: goals) were not to inflict the killing of innocent people, rather fight in a war where innocent people would die as a result.
