Why do you think the Iraqi war was just?
Why do I think the Iraq war was just?
To answer this question, can you give me a reason why War should started in the first place?
To fight in a war, is not to ask whether or not the war was right or wrong, this is not for a soldier to determined, to support a war, you need to understand the process is not something that within reason.
Hence go back to the original question, why Iraq was just? Then the answer is, why not just?
People killing people everyday, you heard about it in Africa, you heard about it in Middle East, you heard about it in Europe, for a person, irrespective of your political believe, you can either be a part of it, or think it's none of your business, but in the end, whatever you do, those killing will not stop. But whether or not you opt to do something about it, or you stay behind as if it's none of your business. It does not mean the war is justified, or unjustified in that sense. What that question entail is that, how you see a war.
If war cannot be justified without a reason, then war should not have happen in the first place, knowing this, you need to realise, yes, the US may fight for Oil, the US may fight for Human Right, the US may have done this or may have done that to its own interest and right, but either way, standing down or be a part of it. You gotta choose, and when we are sitting at home doing nothing, that is the world I don't want to live in.

You may not agree on why I fight, but that does not mean a war is unjust, it just mean you and I see things differently.
Lol i dunno, cantonese drawn out endings and tones always sounded nice to me (all the aaaa's and euuhhh's etc.)...especially after all the guttural ends in the middle of the sentence (ik's um's at's etc) but its probably because I never had to learn it properly like you said (just what i picked up from friends at school etc). Mandarin to me sounds just like typical mix of eee's and urrr's in the middle with much less music in the sentence ending hehe.
I don't remember how I learn Cantonese in Hong Kong, when you go to school in Hong Kong, you sort of immerse yourself in that culture, and you pick up the word as you converse with your friends, and perhaps my friend is not as "elegant" or "musical" as they should be
but in the end, when you understand enough Cantonese. You will know that the wording is quite colloquial
I don't speak Cantonese much these day, and even I don't remember a lot of Cantonese as we don't use it, when you stop writing it, you probably will completely forgot about it and that's a problem.
