That has nothing to do with economic justification for war.
To say the same thing differently, if there is such a
thing as a just
war, economics isn't how it is justified.

The difference being, wars *used* to be about economics, at least
some of them. (Borrow money, invade France, capture
nobles, ransom...
profit!!!) I'm not sure that anyone has ever (barring that superb
Onion piece) lauded all abortions. But I take the point, I think.
Umm, you are responding to JDG's line, not mine.
That's why it says "ritu wrote" by what you wrote, and "jdiebremse
wrote" by what JDG wrote... :-)
But I wrote none of the lines you quoted. The first bit is Nick's. :)
Well, why didn't you say that then? :p
Sorry Nick.
