What the United States are doing in the Middle East is not morally okay. Not even close. At best it kind of works.

EDIT: If you have 45 minutes, here [1] is a show by German political cabaret artist Volker Pispers rushing through half a century of history with heavy focus on the USA in the Middle East. With English subtitles. It's a disturbing mix between fun and contempt for mankind.

I think there are very few cases where the use of military force is unambiguously morally okay.

    I am more thinking about things like the Iraq War, a invasion without any justification besides a bunch of lies.
