I'm okay with bombing a building if THE man is inside and his death can be justified. I'm against trading one normal bad guy for 10 civilians as so many here can accept. Mere speculation doesn't do it for me. BTW, what if Zarqawi walked into a hospital? Would you zero your bomb sights at 10,000 feet?
Let's not hold up the rape of Nanking, My Lai or Dresden as reference points. I've seen reference points, I've known reference points and sir, these are not reference points. They are merely events that happened.
If this is a war, send in the troops and take over the cities one by one and disarm everyone. That's how a war is fought isn't it? This half-ass military strategy by our administration is designed to give us a feeling democracy is in place. Don't book any vacation plans there yet.
GW, Rumsfield, Cheney and Rice had their chance a year ago (even before the war started) to follow advice from others in the administration and our military leaders. Didn't listen and they blew it. Now it's another ball game; no longer a war but a never-ending series of counterinsurgency battles that makes losers of all involved ...... except for the jihadists.
