I would advise people to read this and some of the linked articles.

It will make more sense than discussing whether or not the US has
committed injustice here and there, and thinking that this is the Real
Problem We Face Now. It's not. Some of you are really confusing your
moral concerns with their concerns.

Which doesn't mean, as Samantha stressed, that we shouldn't pay the
utmost attention to behave morally and in such a way that favours the
establishment of an order respectful and favourable to everyone. In this
"war" and in any other context.
