Let us not forget that 'right' and 'wrong' are just words, and relative to people's opinions.
Clearly there was not consensus on the subject of whether or not it was 'right' to invade Iraq.
We all have our own personal sense of 'right' and 'wrong' and most agree that 'murder' is wrong, or child abuse is 'wrong' - but always, 'right' and 'wrong' remain relative issues... relative to time and space.
Thus, it is 'wrong' to gamble in most of the US, but perfectly legal and 'right' to gamble in the UK.
I have no doubt that those that wanted to invade Iraq thought it was 'right' in their hearts, but I do not share that view.
Also, as an athiest, I do not accept the bible as a code we should live by... I only recognise rule of law.
I only submit to the rule of elected officials... God is not elected, therefore if he were to exist, I do not answer to him - nor do I expect my elected leaders to answer to God before they answer to the people that voted them into power.
Anyway, what does this have to do with Submarines!?!?!?
