3300 innocent civians died in new york, many more could die in this
country. the reason for ground troops is to protect innocent iraqies. all
our smart weapons could be used to destroy iraq, but, men on the ground is
the only weapon that we have that can make a decision about "is that a
civilian next to that building"? missles and bombers can not make that call.
there will be american service men and women that will be killed to make
sure that as few innocent iraqies as possible do not get killed.

Kyle, I know, I know... I admit, you have to bite the bully. The
question
remains however, do we sacrifice innocent civilians? That is one of my
main
concerns, because both Saddam and Kim, clearly want to blame us for not
letting the humanitarian aide in, (because of sanctions) but by their
actions, have proven they don't give a rat's arse about their own
people.
Iraq is already crumbling, many babies have died, children are sick and
unable to get medicine...... I think what we protesters are saying,
Please
don't kill the civilians for the evil of their leader. On another hand,
I get
nervous thinking about Bush's itchy finger. He wants to nuke Iraq. It
doesn't
seem he understands the consequences of what that would do to Iran, And
all
that area... We want him to come up with a better more humanitarian
plan.
