War with Iran, will the UK help

[Inchante]

Thats why I like some German laws .... planing a war of aggression inside German Borders will be punished in every case with lifelong prison... here the most people are against the war in afghanistan and I´m sure a war with Iran is nearly impossible to explain.

It is quite a different scenario, however, as the United States is not largely responsible for starting a war that included mass genocide and the deaths of over 60 million people. The Germans were right to react to their own history in such a manner.

As far as the war in Afghanistan, I would have to say that the German response is the result of an over zealous and ideological populace. The war in Afghanistan, according to every letter of international law, is a just war.

There is such a thing as just war theory, an actual field of study dedicated to understanding the reasons that justify military action. (I'm going to make this plain so you understand. I'm not saying that as an insult, I'm saying that there must be a disconnect for you not to have already reached this understanding.) First, you have to be familiar with the idea of an Original Contract (Hume), the contract being that which exists between the people of a society and their government. Under all such contracts exists the obligation of the Government to protect its citizens, and in the case that an entity attacks those people, that government is obliged to act. So, when the terrorists attacked the people of the United States on September 11th, 2001. The Government of the United States was contractually obligated to defend its citizens and if possible, to ensure that it did not happen again. Now, the terrorist group, Al Qaeda, which was responsible for the attack was being harbored and supported by the ruling regime of Afghanistan, the Taliban. Thus, in order to fulfill the contract and protect the citizens of the United States (you should remember that numerous countries were attacked by the same group) the war in Afghanistan was started. Does that make sense to you?
