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?

There is a vast difference between
targeting civilians, and bombing legitimate military targets that happen to be near civilians.
Again, when did US commanders sit down and decide to attack a bunch of civilians?
Why would you expend costly ordinance on a target that would gain you nothing by it's destruction, and hurt the standing of your country, and the prestige of your organisation.

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.

Really?
So he would have just stepped down? Or would the UN forces bullets and bombs magically caused less "death, destruction, and cost" than US/British bullets and bombs?
