Wow... look how easy it is to get people riled up. All I'm doing is expressing an opinion...so sorry it doesn't agree with yours, but it can be dangerous sometimes in this land of the free to express an unpopular opinion. Of course I realize that our targets are primarily military this time and other times... but you can't tell me that no innocents are getting hurt in these attacks. No matter how much technology advances, the bombs don't always hit military targets. And you're also right about the gulf war.. it was not about ousting Hussein or implementing democracy in Kuwait. It was about protecting American oil intrests abroad. We lost a record low number of servicepeople in that war (although it turned out to be more than was reported at the time), but it was still unacceptable in my opinion that a hundred or so kids came home in bags so that the prices at the gas pumps wouldn't rise. This too shall pass, I suppose. I seriously doubt that it will do any good, however, that's all I am saying. I guess we just have to wait and see... and you people need to chill out...maybe try decaf.
