I was a pacifist in my teens. I got over it. There is always evil in the world, the question is, is it sometimes necessary to embrace the lesser evil, in order to avoid the greater? Is a brutal dictatorship with expansionist aspirations, genocidal tendencies, and an interest in improving delivery methods for various WMDs, while, at a minimum, the means to restart production is maintained worth overthrowing? Yes........

The first picture is of an older man carrying a little girl. Her feet are blown off. Did we do her a favor? Truly sad... Just as it was for those 16 children in Basra who were burned alive in their school bus after a terrorist car bombing.. You want to show your bleeding heart to all of us, then why not let it bleed a bit for all of those innocent Iraqis who are being targeted by militant car-bombers.. Why not bleed a little for all of those people who live in fear of being terrorized merely because they want to get on with their lives and make a living... And why not ponder whether there might be millions of Iraqi children who won't be forced to grow up in a totalitarian state where their only purpose was to serve the Ba'athist regime in power and/or face one of his infamous torture squads.. Want me to share something with you? "Rumour has it" that Saddam's torturers took a guy, shoved a hose down his throat with the water on full blast, forcing his stomach to expand horribly.. Then they cut it open just to watch the water squirt out.. I could really go on daytrader76... Like when Uday forced the Iraqi soccer team to dive off a 20 foot diving board into a pool of human excrement. Yeah... think about all of those Iraqi's who won't have to face that... all because they failed to live up to the expectations of the regime's leaders. Hawk
