I'd say the UN report is pure garbage. Look at Afghanistan, many of the first bombing runs were US planes dropping food to starving people. Has the UN any proof that the people of Afghanistan are dying of hunger now?

One million Iraqi children will probably be saved with a quick US take over. No US plans to hit water supplies even though Saddam drained the swamps killing millions. Geeze, even plans to use the E-Bomb to knock out communications are on hold so their use of cell phones and TV watching aren't knocked out.

I'm reminded of an old Star Trek show where 2 planets are at war. When one planet develops a weapon the weapon is destroyed but it's effect is computed and people report to death chambers. It was too clean so they stayed at war.

OTOH this is more of a rescue mission + getting rid of a terrorist helper. Makes it a lot more complicated.
