Blank Justifies the Means

Is it possible for the ends to justify the means when there is no end? In an amazing feat of chutzpah, or maybe he just doesn't listen to or understand what he is reading when giving a speech, Bush today said that he accepted responsibility for taking the U.S. to war in Iraq based on faulty intelligence while saying the invasion still was justified by the threat posed by Saddam Hussein and international terrorism. Coincidentally, this came just one day after Kenny Boy Lay gave a speech pointing out his innocence against charges of being the poster boy of corporate criminals. Taking direction from his leader and pardonner, Ken's next speech will no doubt take responsibility for ruining the lives of thousands of employees and customers of Enron, but that his actions were justified because he and his buddies made a lot of money.
