Thus we come to the fundamental question of ethics: intent or 
outcome? If by intent we regulate, we attempt to assign intent to 
methods and thus make them taboo. If we regulate by outcome, we ask 
to judge whether something made the whole better, regardless of who 
died or not.

While I am normally behind door #2, I see no way the whole is helped 
by (genocidal) war against the Iraqi people.
