I agree with you. I'm not sure if there is a good estimate for the number of combatants we killed, and how many are Iraqi, how many from outside the country, etc.
Any idea? I would guess over 50,000 total? 100,000? Can't be sure. Every one of them has a family that now hates the US more than before we did this illegal invasion though.
To me attacking Iraq would only have been justified if the UN sanctioned it, and they did not. And I still would have had a problem with the US doing 90% of it. The US should have done no more than 20% of anything like this - if we must be involved. Europeans, Asians, South Americans, and people from the Middle East should do the rest, IMO.

I count the combatants as well as the civilians. I don't think they ought to be dead either- and their families are probably just as pissed off as the families of the civilians. Opinions will differ on how many of THEM it is ok to kill. I don't think we should have killed any unless we had a very good reason, and of course I don't think we had a very good reason. Opinions always differ on who it is ok to kill, and how many killings are ok. I'd rather be guessing on the light side for that one. |
