Not only morally wrong but Illegal. It is against The Geneva Convention to invade a Country to effect Regime Change. If it weren't surely we would be in Rwaanda.
There ARE no WMD, so we invaded on a false premise.
We have occupied and destabilised a country and expect their Citizens to accept that. I am damn sure that if the French had invaded Britain after performing airstrikes and then wandered our streets with guns that we would be pretty angry.
Bush wandered into Iraq because he wanted retribution for 9/11. There are Terrorist Cells in every nation, does that give us the right to kill innocent women & children? do we invade them all?
I was without my husband for two six month periods, and I stood at the funeral of a 28 year old Captain, killed by a roadside bomb, looking at his widow to whom he had been married for 7 months. Where is the sense in that? what for?
Wrong!

I have mixed views on this. Yes I think Saddam was an evil man and had to be sorted BUT at the end of the day he kept order over there which is something we seem unable to do. I think that at the end of the day we should have been sure that the weapons of mass destruction issue was a certainty (shouldn't have been too much of an issue since U.S claim to have satelites which can see a coin placed on the ground from space) before Tony ran around shouting that we could be attacked any time in the next five minutes! and that when it turned out that there were no WMD we should have bugged out. I do think that at the end of the day we need to consider in this aswell the technical aspect of 'the alliance' forcing democracy on the rest of the world. It is after all just an ideology, Hitler had an ideology aswell and while I am not suggesting that we are anywhere near as bad as that I don't think we should be invading countries simply to bring democracy.
I guess this can be shortened to this: Morally right, Ethically wrong!!

U.S.A., Have any of you that keep Bush bashing been to Iraq? I don't think so otherwise you would know that MOST Iraqis are thankful we are there. These people were being slaughtered by Saddam they had to watch family members die. Thank goodness we do not live like they had to live. So the war is morally right. He had time to talk it out but he kept on thinking he was god and he was going to do what he wanted regardless of lives that he slaughtered.

It would have to be first decided what you base your morality on. The first gulf war was necessary but the second was in defiance of the majority. Since democracy is what the Us are always barking about, why the unilateral move, despite worldwide protests to the war in Iraq.

the war in Iraq and Afgahanistan is definitely morally right. We (coalition) ousted a man that is exactly like Adolf Hitler, just on a smaller scale. How could that be anything but morally right?

Morally, its wrong. Now, when the US government told us of this war and how it "funded terrorist attacks like 9/11" hell yeah, I wanted to blow the whole country up.
Now that I know the truth, I think bush should have minded his own effin business and not lied to the people of the world about WMD.
I am against this war, and against our moronic president.

Freeing oppressed people from tyranny is always morally right. The only thing needed for evil to flourish is for good men to do nothing. The world did NOTHING for too many years and Saddam was given a green light to rape, murder, starve, torture, slaughter anyone who could not protect themselves from his army. President Bush is a good man and now Saddam's evil is through.

It is not moral in any way to invade a sovereign country and just be killing people indiscriminately, and continue terminating their rights. It is not a moral act at all.

War was wrong.A lot of American lives lost,besides killing of innocent Iraqiuis.It was for the satisfaction of Bush to capture Saddam Hussain,a personal grudge/wish.There was no WMD in Iraque>Bush continueing killing /killed more than Hussain had done.
