Anyone who regards death as a solution -- and not as The Problem -- is a tool. The USA with all its might has the obligation to defend its citizens, but also the concomittant obligation not to let its power be abused for bad ends, unnecessarily injuring innocent people.

Don't underestimate the "snares of the devil;" he didn't get to be where he is by being no more clever than man.

It is not our intent to injure the innocent - See my post above. It is our intent to eliminate a clear and present danger to this country: Saddam Hussein as the leader of a rogue state. The Iraqi people are not our enemy. In fact, most will welcome liberation from the tyranny of Saddam. I believe that entire Iraqi units will coopted and turned against their master in Baghdad.

The U.S. military has taken far more care not to injure the innocent than any other army in the history of warfare. We are not abusing our power for bad ends - We are using it responsibly, for a righteous cause.
