Lizzie, <Don't you think that many wars can be won with economics though- and that means no bloodshed.>

Perhaps, but remember that if "economic warfare" includes sanctions to punish rogue states, lives will be lost anyway due to those sanctions. Look at how long Iraqis have suffered under the double burden of sanctions and Saddam. Meanwhile, the free world became weary of keeping up the sanctions, and some corrupt interests violated them outright.

I'd argue that continued sanctions would cost fifty times more Iraqi lives than the current war. Of course, no American lives would be sacrificed via economic sanctions, either, so that must also be accounted for.
