This existence of this board seems to assume an international moral code. We argue whether or not the invasion of Iraq was good for the Iraqis but we all assume that the well being of the Iraqis should be taken into consideration. I know I do. But why should we care about how our foreign policy effects the Iraqis, unless there is a universal moral code that we all agree on that states that you shouldn't screw up other peoples lives without good reason?
Every argument on this board assumes that someone's line of reasoning follows the universal moral code and the other persons reasoning does not. If morality is relative there could be no argument because we would all just have decisions based on our morality and there would be no point to arguing.
