Re: [OT] Another heated discussion about the Iraq siutation, war and politics.
Rex, Saddam has already killed many many more of his own people (by several orders of magnitude) than the coalition forces have killed in this war. He would have continued the biological and chemical weapons experiments on his own people if we did nothing to intervene. Sure, some people die in war. But after the war, the mass-murders in Iraq will stop. A little pain and suffering in the present for much greater in the near future is always worth it.
How can you say more people have died in the war than would have been killed by WMD? That is a rather arrogant presumption. You can not know what level of WMD production Iraq has (with 0 level always a possibility) without actually going in there and rooting it out. If Iraq has a lot of WMD, it would very easily be capable of killing many more people than have died in this war.
