Drugs are a kind of WMD on society. Suppose you were born in a poor family and lived on a seedier side of town where drug peddlers had taken over the hood. Would you want the police to firebomb the whole neighborhood to get at the drug smugglers? >Is it acceptable to bomb that apartment complex or whatever it was and kill 9 civilians in order to kill saddam? All these actions and reactions have moral consequences. I know that they do but i cant be certain about what God thinks. I am more interested in the survival of our nation and preventing use of wmds, far more mundane things than what the pacifists might believe. >

>> Is it moral to kill 100,000 iraqi soldiers for every 100 americans killed? Michael, now that each claim of wmd turns out to be false, are you be open to the possibility that the original accusation of wmd itself was known to be very weak. And that was the reason the inspections were not allowed to continue. The real danger was they would keep confirming the absence of wmd. So what was the point of the killings ? WHether the 100, or the 100,000 ? You can see some of the killed here. robert-fisk.com
