I was afraid this war would result in death and maiming of many innocent people. And it has.

OK, assuming u have a point, lets check up on some ballpark numbers :

Its generally accepted that 1M died in the last 10 years of Saddam's regime as a result of the regimes abusive policies. That works out to 100K dead per year. That works out to approx 274 dead per day.

The war has been going for about 21 days now. Best available (not final) reports are about 1250 dead so far.

I'm sure you have a calculator handy.
