It just breaks your heart to see these civilian casualties. But it breaks your heart even more to think of the number of children murdered by Saddam Hussein over the last n-years.

The civilian deaths are tragic, but the 2000 or so deaths were a necessary precondition to eliminating the hundreds of thousands, or more, who would have died in the future at Saddam's hands.

his idea that you need UN approval to conduct a war is ridiculous.

Completely absurd! Any nation should have the right to attack another on suspicion alone.


If it was based on suspicion alone it would still be suspicion alone even if the UN approved.
