Does the moral corruption of the Iraq war extend to those who support it at home?

Answer 1

Only in that many seem incapable of discerning the difference between supporting a flawed policy and supporting our troops.
Continuing to fall for the Cheney administrations lies concerning our initial and our ongoing reasons for staying doesn't bode well for the drum-up to invading Iran.
It's deja-vu all over again.

Answer 2

Does the moral corruption of a lynching extend to the general mob? or just the actual rope guy? in this instance the guy with the rope is named appropriately enough, dick. but there can be no excuse for the mob. they could have stopped it, yet they cheered it on. some are still caught up in the blood lust.

Answer 3

I hope not. I think most of the people who support the war are used to believing whatever comes out of the presidents mouth. We were raised to believe in our leader and some people have a hard time letting that go. That doesn't make them morally corrupt, just uninformed and gullible

Answer 4

Kind of, they got used to blood money ?!
Supporters of war categories;
1) They really think every thing is honky dory as Gov tells them.

3) Made lot of money in the stock market due to the rise of value for defense and oil corps coz of war.
4) Another GI Joe kid!?

Moral corruption is a stunningly naive way to characterize our role in this war, but would rather define the attitudes of radical islamo-fascists we are neutralizing on a daily basis.
I will grant the possibly you simply just don't understand,check out this site.

Answer 6

Yes, and being a blind follower does not mediate the moral corruption.

Answer 7

Arn't all humans to some extent flawed by moral corruption...

Answer 8

Moral corruption....hm, yes the war couldn't POSSIBLY be about taking out a tyrannical dictator who committed genocide on his people? It couldn't POSSIBLY be about establishing a democracy in a country whose previous "leader" cared nothing for his people except how many of them he could torture in one day. It couldn't POSSIBLY be about establishing military, government, economic, financial, education, and medical aid to the Iraqi Civilians nor our brave men and women risking their lives and even dieing to protect said people. No, it couldn't POSSIBLY be about that!

On Saddam Hussein:
But the thick, high-register voice of Saddam Hussein was unmistakable. In audio recordings made years ago and played 10 days after his hanging, Mr. Hussein was heard justifying the use of chemical weapons against the Iraqi Kurds in the late 1980s, predicting they would kill “thousands” and saying he alone among Iraq’s leaders had the authority to order chemical attacks.

In the history of prosecutions against some of the last century’s grimmest men, there can rarely have been a moment that so starkly caught a despot’s unpitying nature.

On one recording, Mr. Hussein presses the merits of chemical weapons on Izzat Ibrahim al-Douri, his vice-president, and now, the Americans believe, the fugitive leader of the Sunni insurgency that has tied down thousands of American troops. Mr. Douri, a notorious hard-liner, asks whether chemical attacks will be effective against civilian populations, and suggests that they might stir an international outcry.

“Yes, they’re very effective if people don’t wear masks,” Mr. Hussein replies.

“You mean they will kill thousands?” Mr. Douri asks.

“Yes, they will kill thousands,” Mr. Hussein says.

On efforts to help the Iraqi Education system:
"Assistance has helped Iraq move away from rote learning methodology in decrepit, unsanitary classrooms to interactive learning in rehabilitated buildings. Since 2003, USAID has rehabilitated nearly 3,000 schools. Over 20 million new textbooks have been supplied by USAID (8.6 million) and UNESCO (12 million). Tens of thousands of primary school teachers have received training and technical assistance."

These are just two pieces of PROOF of things we've done in Iraq that I found in 2 minutes. And you know there's more out there. Anything in response?

Answer 9

being that there is no moral corruption in this war NO.

Answer 10

The premise of your question is flawed. There is no moral corruption concerning to war of liberation in Iraq, therefore there is no corruption in those who support it.
