Sarmad,
my mistake-- he said american casualties. No one is minimizing foreign casualties. In Vietnam for instance we lost 54,000 while the Vietnamese losses were in the millions. War is a terrible thing no doubt and there are civilian casualties. Peace is the answer but it is not always possible I am afraid.
I am a pacifist and a socialist at heart but a realist by training and experience. Look at Bill's post regarding Munich and what that led to. If Hitler had been stopped early on, millions would not have died. My view is that the same goes for Sadaam and Bin Laden. I never make lite of civilian casualties or opposing military casualties either. Mike

>>In Panama, it has been documented that more than 3000 Panamanian civilian poor people died >>in US attacks on Noriega's forces.

Yeah and some 3,000 innocent civilians died senselessly when some jerk-off terrorists crashed planes into the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. So what's your point!!
