<b>And Harmlessrabbit:
1) stop twisting my words around.</b>

Sorry, it's hard to me for follow you when you advocate non-violence in some cases and not in others. I just got confused.

<b>2) The US did NOT deliberately target civilians. Your suggestion that they did is rather insulting, actually. </b>

Your suggestion that they didn't is rather amusing. Quiz: The military has an approval process for approval of bombing raids in Iraq when there is a chance that civilans might be killed. How many requests for approval using this process were denied approval?

<b> 3) The US did not have reasonable "solutions" to the problem of Saddam Hussein - or do you think the UN would have voted to remove him?</b>

yes, I think the UN would have removed him with much less death, destruction, and cost to the Iraqi people.

<b> 4) Of course I support non-violent options during wartime. That does not mean that I think countries should *always* refrain from violence, if the situation warrents it. However, *deliberate* attacks against innocent civilians are wrong.</b>

I agree.
