Do you know how many people have died? How many of them civies? How many will yet lose their lives?

Iraqi government figures were 1,252 Iraqi civilian dead before the government collapsed; something like 4,000 injuries. US/Coalition fewer than 200 dead. No doubt, tens of thousands of Iraqi soldiers dead.

All in all, an amazingly, almost unbelievably, low casualty count.

All we've done is move the country from a dictatorship to chaos

Don't you think a temporary period of chaos is worthwhile to end decades of dictatorship with thousands of dead innocents? Obviously, there is going to be a period of chaos. But one need only look at the faces of these people who have been freed to immediately understand that this war was a great thing for Iraq. The fact that a baby was born in Iraq last night and named "George" ought to tell you something.

Would you be supportive of a Syria or Iran invasion?

Wouldn't the answer to that question, by necessity, depend on the behaviors of Syria and Iran?
