A reason for not wanting to cause 500,000 casualties,
Prove that number.

any of them innocent children.
I guess we should not have waged war on Germany then. Many innocent children were killed in WW2.

So you disagree with that?

You can have peace. Or you can have freedom. Don't ever count on having both at once.

There will be less than 100 total casualties. So, don't worry about that, at all.

Hmmmm!? Do you include Arabs in your total of casualties?

<< Not to mention killing of wildlife and damage to the environment. >>

But, you can't find the courage to criticize Saddam for the huge damage, caused by his orders to set Kuwait's oil wells on fire.

How about the missing 600 Kuwaitis, taken by Saddam's henchmen, and never seen again? Not concerned there either?
