The moral aspect of war

The legal aspect of this highly controversial war is no doubt an area that mandates close examination but Prof. Michael Codner the Director of Military Sciences at the Royal United Services Institute London says the moral issues are just as important. He feels that legality and morality are not exceptions but two related concepts. But what has morality got to do with this inquiry? ... one may ask.

Codner believes it's because the moral aspect of this military endeavour is what makes this war different from other wars. He says "the moral aspect of going to war, the actual how does a government make a decision morally to go to war and then how does the public evaluate the morality has come on the front burner very much since that war."
