I can flip flop that argument (after all, that's what liberals do best). I say that our actions DO consider both motives and outcome. Why did we go to Iraq? What was the result of going into Iraq? Those are the real questions that are extremly important (and that we are asking every day). Why do the terrorist want to kill us? What will be the result of escilating freedom loss in the war against terror? Also questions about motive and outcome that we regularly ask.
