Iraq, Afghanistan, Georgia - Are There Any 'Just' Wars'? - VID

Added 02 September 2008

Print version

In the heat of the battle for the American presidency, one of the key differences between the candidates is their approach to the Iraq war.

Senator McCain has supported the war from the beginning and was one of the most vocal supporters of the recent 'surge' in force numbers.

His opponent, Senator Obama, opposed the Iraq war from the start and also stood against the surge, preferring to see greater emphasis placed on the war in Afghanistan.

Who is right? It's an important question.

But there's an even bigger question - especially as things heat up in relations between the West and Russia, or Iran. In this age of hi-tech and long-range battles, is there any longer such a thing as a 'just' war?

Mal Fletcher looks at this carefully in a new clip featured on our YouTube site.

I enjoyed your program on aging. It's sad to see our young ones are not getting the opportunity to embrace aging and plan for it wisely.
