Just ask a college kid in a philosophy class

My brother, for instance.

MW: Is our current war in Iraq a just war?

EW: Well, Michael Walzer, for example, would say no. The desired final state is kind of ambiguous . . . and the administration's cause for war keeps changing after the fact.

Or you could ask President Bush:

GB: Join me in the wrong war at the wrong time at the wrong place. Risk your troops in a war you've called a mistake.

OK, that was unfairly taken out of context. It's actually a line from the second Bush-Kerry debate, repeated nearly verbatim three, yes three times during the debate. Actual context is as follows.

GB: And what is he going to say to those people that show up at the summit? Join me in the wrong war at the wrong time at the wrong place. . . Nobody is going to follow somebody who doesn't believe we can succeed and with somebody who says that war where we are is a mistake.

But the President deserves to be taken out of context here, because regardless of the merit of his argument, it's just dumb to repeat your opponent's criticisms so many times that people might think they're your soundbite. If I did this I'd get quoted saying things like, "The administration's Clear Skies Initiative is a sound plan that will cut smog pollution by 70%!"
