In the wake of the military victory in
Iraq, the question still looms, is
America, or any country justified in
invading a sovereign nation because it
thinks it is morally obliged to do so?
What makes one county more moral
than the next? Can there be an objec-
tive standard of right and wrong with
which to measure a coun-
try's moral standing in
the context of the world
at large? Even if America
was justified in invading
Iraq, what are the guide-
lines to this type of mili-
tary action and what may
the fallout be?
At 7 p.m. Wednesday, Berger
May 21, the Aish Center
will host Rabbi Motty

tions.
