20 years after, Bush defends Gulf War as 'moral'

This article talks about how Bush says that the Gulf War was moral, and how it was the right thing to do. When Iraq invaded Kuwait, they were warned by the U.S. that if they didn't pull out of Kuwait by a certain day, that they would be forced out by a U.S. coalition. Iraq didn't listen so the U.S. attacked and drove Iraq out of Kuwait.

First off, I don't think any form of war can be considered moral. Maybe the war was the right thing to do, but it certainly isn't moral because war equals killing, and killing is immoral, which may seem like a childish arguement, but that's the simple truth. However, I do have to agree with the U.S.'s decision to drive Iraq out of Kuwait, especially with Kuwait being rich with oil, and us needing it.
