David, Assuming that everything that you just posted is true, would any of it have occured if we had obeyed international law and not invaded this country w/o the approval of the U.N.?? Or would every one of our dead soldiers and their dead and maimed civilians be still alive and healthy as they were 10 days ago? Would there be any American POWs, (that possibly are being tortured as we type)??
You cannot initiate a war, (what is the precedent in that?), with extremely predictable resulting atrocities, then use those atrocities as the as the rationale for starting a war. Sorry, but 1st semester logic class would blow that one right out of the water. This is the reason for anti-war protests, not because every anti-war person believes that Hussein is really a nice guy that has been unfairly slandered,
, but because we do not believe that one dead child is "acceptable collateral damage" when other remedies HAVE NOT BEEN EXHAUSTED! If you were a poor bastard born in Hussein's Iraq, and it was your child, you would feel a little different towards this "liberation force".
The battery in the "hospital" and torn-up U.S. uniform make me sick, and further my stance against this unbelievably stupid and dishonest justification for invading Iraq at this moment in time.
