3. That argument leaves a lot out..
Edited on Fri Nov-12-04 03:21 PM by PAdem2
Such as, how many deaths were civilian vs. combatants (Iraqi military and the multi-national, pan-muslim forces supporting jihad)? Are you assuming that if we had not invaded Iraq the deaths credited to Sadaam would have stopped on their own? Are you taking the "there is no reason for war" approach, which is great in theory but not in practice?

Plus, this 100,000 number is thrown around a lot with no real substantiation. I'm not wild about how the war in Iraq is going down and I'M not buying that number.

As far as the objective sin, I think we may be judged for not using more of our resources to end tyranny around the world.
