Subject: RE: BS: A Wonderful Balanced Perspective
I disagree with Ignatieff on one important point: evaluating a moral duty must necessarily include an evaluation of the risks. While I think our invasion of Iraq would be moral in and of itself, the damage done to the rule of law, and to American interests by the alienation of much of Europe and the Arab world cannot be ignored.
