John, So it is not the the action itself and whether it is justified, it is the cost that can be counted after the action has ended is what determines if the action is justified in the first place... Gee, interesting contortions one has to go through. Kind of similar to Z's logic. Kerry seems to think the same way. Be on both sides while the outcome is in question, jump on the winning side when the outcome is known. Now, let's look at Yugoslavia / Serbia. Its military is probably on par with that of Iraq, probably much better trained, with terain very advantageous for the defender vs. flat desert of Iraq. Now suppose their dictator was as crazy and uncaring about the destruction of civilian infrastructure, loss of life as Saddam, if he fought to the bitter end. How many body bags do you think it would take? My take is more than 1000. From that, maybe the conclusion is that we should go after dictators who are less blood thirsty, less uncaring therefore less dangerous... I guess that's the ticket. And we should fight on the side of al-Qaeda, as we did in Kosovo, as opposed to against al-Qaeda. That would cut down on terrorist threat our soldiers would face... Joe
