Could you explain exactly how does one wage a moral war?
In order to wage a moral war, there are two requirements that the war itself be just and that the war be justly fought. In order for the war to be just, it must be fought in self-defense or defense of another. In order for it to be justly fought by a country, that country must never directly target innocent civlians with the weapons of war. Innocent civilians killed by mistake or "Collatoral damage" is acceptable and not immoral, but the deliberate killing or mass killing of innocent civilians is as immoral if done by nuclear or conventional bombing as it would be if you lined them up and shot them one by one with a firing squad. Operation Desert Storm is a great example of a just war, justly fought. The NATO bombing of Kosovo on the other hand is an example of an unjust war, unjustly fought (by the US), but then again it was perpetrated by one of those worthless, immoral liberal Democrap Presidents I've been talking about, wasn't it?
