On the contrary, I just see a difference between unseating men who purposely enslave and murder hundreds of thousands, and little sawed-off nations that profit by keeping him in the evil business he enjoys. You think that robots worked in all those German bomb factories?
The fact is the defeat and occupation was unprecedented in how many people WEREN'T killed. Frankly most of the casualties people like you count were actual combatants, you just take advantage of the fact they don't wear uniforms and call them "civilians".
Perhaps we should have followed anti-war Europe's lead, made as many under-the-table deals with Hussein as possible and made billions, while allowing the Iraqi people to starve under sanctions. Yes, that would be the moral thing to do. Hell, we probably could have made a mint off Hitler selling him gas, too.
I get tired of people who claim to love the poor civilians and who were were happy as clams watching them suffer sanctions year after year. Go read how many children supposedly died thanks to the sanctions, then come back and start spouting about casualties.
All those children who suffered and died were the result of anti-war sentiment, dragging out Hussein's tenure so they could make MONEY OFF HIM. Wanna talk about shame?
