A recent article in The Public Interest says
And in yet another public-opinion survey conducted in March 2003, almost
one-fifth said that war is "never morally justified."
This suggests that in looking at the Afghanistan or Iraq wars, we should dismiss the
first 20% of those polled who are against it as people who would have opposed the
Revolutionary War or World War II also. Only beyond that baseline do we find people who
think that any particular war has features which make it bad policy.
