MoJ on Iraq: Mission Not Accomplished

Does Catholic legal theory have anything to say about the debacle that is the war in Iraq?  I confess that I occasionally feel that many of my own CLT-inspired observations are of marginal relevance compared to what has happened (and is still happening) in Iraq.  (E.g., In light of this, it's hard to get worked up over whether pharmacists can refuse to dispense contraceptives.)  But what do we really have to say -- that the invasion/occupation was a matter of prudential judgment that appears in hindsight to have been not so prudent?  Is that the best we can do? 

Two years ago I wondered whether the amorphous moral justifications offered for the invasion under the "just war" framework rendered the whole framework a useless shell of its former self.  Now we appear to have spent 1.2 trillion dollars of our nation's limited resources on a "preemptive" invasion that has resulted in years of numbingly high death tolls and spiraling chaos with no resolution in sight.  Our President responds to the insurgents by bragging, "bring 'em on."  Countless social justice issues have taken a back seat to a war that our leaders affirmatively chose.  If Catholic legal theory purports to bring a vision of a just society to a fallen world, shouldn't we be at the center of the conversation regarding Iraq?  If so, what exactly do we have to say?
