Who were they? How many were there? Do you have any idea who they are or how many there were, or are you just guessing? Was it more or less than 1000? Was it more or less than the victims of the UN economic sanctions? If less, why didn't we invade the UN?

We did ask them, remember? Powell appeared before the UN and said "
these guys are dangerous!" The UN replied "bullshit, prove it." We backed down and invaded without their consent.

You men the other countries that weren't in any danger? Yes, several countries assisted us, but does that demonstrate that Iraq/Saddam was dangerous?

Bombing missions? Why would they fire on spy planes violating their space or bombers which were about to take out a hospital and call it collateral damage?

Oh yeah, that was very bad. Saddam was wrong to do that. Here's a question, have we invaded Pakistan, Palestine, Lebanon, or Syria, where the suicide bombers get most of their weapons and funding? Saddam only paid out a few times, really.
