With respect to Iraq, I think it is appropriate to consider the possible casualties in thinking the issue through completely. But I think we have a tendency to overestimate the number of casualties we will suffer in dealing with him (the only maneuver that Saddam's "elite" troops had much practice in was the hasty retreat) and underestimate the potential consequences of not dealing with him. I also think that others of his ilk, perhaps emboldened by the success of Sept. 11, could use a little example. As I stated on the other thread, however, the action should come after some disclosure of evidence about WMD development. I am of the belief that we probably have such evidence, but if we don't we had better disclose it to get at least a modest amount of support in the civilized world. The "civilized world" is a phrase, BTW, that does not include any of Iraq's neighbors with the possible exception of Turkey.
