We "intentionally targeted" Iraq. We knew about 10,000 innocent people would die.

Yes. The difference is lost on me.

From a moral point of view there is absolutely no difference between knowingly targeting civilians to bring about a political change and targeting a political change knowing very well that tens of thousands of civilians will die. Both camps fully understand that innocent people will be killed as a result of their actions but consider the political goals worth the casualties.

If you see such a glaring difference perhaps you can enlighten us.
