The Case Against the Iraq War | Editor Matthew Rothschild | The Progressive magazine

Reasons not to go to war against Iraq:.

It would be against international law.

It would violate the Christian doctrine of “just war.”

It would further damage U.S. relations with its allies, relations that are already frayed by Bush’s mindless unilateralism.

It would wreak havoc in the Muslim world, where there’s plenty of havoc already.

It could shake the U.S. economy, which is trembling right now.

And most importantly, it could result in the deaths of thousands, perhaps tens of thousands, of innocent people.

Worst case: It could end with the United States dropping a nuclear bomb on Baghdad.
