>Unprovoked, the noble sport of war becomes the murder of the innocent. Thoughtful (and disturbing) piece. I keep thinking of the piece in The Guardian where the woman reporter went back to Afghanistan and asked, "The Americans killed so many people when they got rid of the Taliban. Was it worth it?" to which the universal reply was (I paraphrase) "Of course it was, silly! Do you have any idea how many people the Taliban killed every day?" We would have to kill a very great many Iraqis just to match Saddam's normal killing rate now (and who knows what he or his sons would do once they got nukes). That's why I don't have qualms about this war.
