I know there are many Iraqi threads but I wanted to throw this in the mix & I didn't know where to do it (mods feel free to merge).
I know Fuzzie emphasis about this a lot- we're talking about murdering people here. Not Saddam, not the Al Quada, but people whom Saddam has proven he could care less live or die.
Have we proof this is necessary? Not hunches or pride to cover up.. but proof?

On to slightly more important matters...
When you read about the evils of Saddam's regime, it all almost begins to make sense. Maybe they're right, you think. Maybe the Iraqi people really will be grateful to have been liberated from this repressive, murderous, torturous regime.
And then you read this:
*****************
The US intends to shatter Iraq "physically, emotionally and psychologically" by raining down on its people as many as 800 cruise missiles in two days.
The Pentagon battle plan aims not only to crush Iraqi troops, but also wipe out power and water supplies in the capital, Baghdad.
It is based on a strategy known as "Shock and Awe", conceived at the National Defense University in Washington, in which between 300 and 400 cruise missiles would fall on Iraq each day for two consecutive days. It would be more than twice the number of missiles launched during the entire 40 days of the 1991
GulfWar.
"There will not be a safe place in Baghdad," a Pentagon official told America's CBS News after a briefing on the plan. "The sheer size of this has never been seen before, never been contemplated before."
*******************
And then you come to your senses.
If this is true, and not just some kind of planted Psyop story designed to freak out the Iraqis--well, fuck us all. Does even the most bloodthirsty warblogger honestly imagine that the Iraqi people are going to be grateful, if they even manage to survive a two day blitz of 300-400 cruise missiles?
Sometimes the cure really is worse than the disease.
