The topic was Iraq's tactics. You said that if we used Iraq's tactics, there would be no war as we would have stayed home. I pointed out that Iraq's tactics included invasion of Kuwait among other things; therefore your premise was wrong. From your description of the Kuwait invasion, it almost sounds like Iraq was justified or that it was our fault that it invaded. Can't the U.S. ever be right in your book? The preemptive strike against Iraq had nothing to do with its tactic of using civilians as shields, or similar tactics. However, the fact that it fights this way-- and we don't-- does impact our ability to quickly end the matter. If you'll notice, my comments were not directed toward whether the U.S. action was justified. My comments dealt with the differences between the way war is waged between the two countries. Your posts were non-responsive to those issues.
