Why Is No One Talking About Casualties? 3000 casualties on September 11, 2001, Arianna. That's all we've been talking about since. That's why we're at war. Get a clue, sweetie.

3000 casualties on September 11, 2001, Arianna. I don't think that's why we're going to war with Iraq.
Everyond stand up and repeat after me...
OH ...EYE... EL!!! It's all about OH... EYE... EL!!!

Arianna is not on my "must-read" list, but the point she raises is, for me, the only matter of debate in the prospect of war with Iraq. I think that an attack upon Iraq is justified by the criteria of sufficient authority and of the need for a casus belli (both holdovers from Gulf War I); the only issue for me is the Prudence of carrying out a frontal assault if it might mean large numbers of American casualties by means of WMD. I can live with thousands of American military casualties; I can live with thousands of Iraqi innocent casualties. What bothers me is the prospect of TENS of thousands of casualties as a result of Saddam using WMD.

That's what came to my mind as well. Let's be sure there are no more on our shores!
