7:35 This is one of THOSE moments. Pure Hitch. I'm still so upset that the number of these moments is now finite.

@elrynx2 Yes electricity 24/7! What's that compared to the murdering of thousands of your fellow countrymen at the hands of a fascist dictator. There was no way to take him out of power in total good. The means to the end were certainly not perfect (Not at all and Hitchens agrees in the video) but you couldn't Gandhi, Saddam out of power. Peace wouldn't have worked and to disagree is to be as deluded as the people who blindly followed Bush.

@bboschboi "America is the most fascist major country"... Not an American, but I can think of many countries far worse than America could ever become. Unless only the largest countries fit your definition of 'major country'... But then debating who's more fascist between America, Britain, Germany, Russia, China, ect is non sequitor and only serves to derail the discussion because none of those countries could attempt to be in the same league as North Korea or Iran.

Hey we should all argue in the comment section!

@Lulzalutioners Well i guess i agree with that, but i was think in terms of what america should do and in this world america is the most fascist major country. imo

@ojdidit92

Did I say that the means justified the ends? Or vice versa? I don't think I did. Any war, included any intervention in Iraq, should be done under clear pretenses. The war in Iraq was not waged with any shred of integrity. The public was fed lies. That's no way to conduct a government or a civilian military.

[ojdidit92]

@elrynx2 Its the other way around, the ends (in this case) justify the means not the means justify the ends.Just out of curiosity do you have any idea what would have happend to iraq if it wasn't for entervention?

[Lulzalutioners]

@bboschboi There I disagree with you, my stance is with the old lefts slogan "Fascism means war".

[bboschboi]

@Lulzalutioners It depends on the situation but in almost all cases there is no real just for war.

[Lulzalutioners]

@bboschboi Do you think that the only just war is a war of defense or what?
