No apologies for Howard's unjust war
- Bruce Duncan
- 20 December 2010
7 Comments
With no hint of regret or apology, John Howard has defended his decision to join the 2003 invasion of Iraq. He gives no consideration to the just war criteria. This is not surprising, as on all these principles the case for a just war fails.

46 Comments
