Thoughts on Tonight's Debate

I was disappointed that Senator Obama failed to mention any moral argument against the invasion of Iraq, and instead criticized it because of its strategic flaws.  

We invaded Iraq because we were misled to believe that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction and posed a grave and gathering threat to the security of the United States. Whatever one might think of that justification, it was the justification upon which we rested our invasion.  

It has since been proven that Iraq did not possess weapons of mass destruction, and that evidence to the contrary had been fabricated by and at the behest of the Bush Administration. Thus, our invasion was unjustified.  

Isn't invading another country without justification a morally reprehensible action? Aren't we therefore responsible for not just the 4,000 American dead, and tens of thousands of American casualties, but also for all the Iraqi loss of life. Isn't the hellish nightmare that Iraq has become the result of our unjustified aggression?  

Perhaps I'm terribly naive, but I think these moral questions are far more important to consider, than whether or not the invasion was a strategic mistake. In McCain's mind, war is good as long as we win. I'd like to think that Obama has a more thoughtful perspective, but I did not hear any evidence of that during this debate.
