And Harmlessrabbit:
1) stop twisting my words around.

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.

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

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?

 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?

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

 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.

I agree.
