They do, but they still make weak arguments.

Those making arguments based on humanity do so as well.

All political and policy arguments should, but don't, start from a utilitarian perspective. Is this useful, and if so, how so? What tangible benefits result?

A cost based analysis should also be involved, as well as tax implications.

If society did this, we might arrive at more logical results.

If Bush had looked at the Iraq situation from this perspective, I believe he never would have started it.
