Haven't you learned anything from...geesh, even our own history??
You'd be one of the 1st ones screaming bloody murder if one of our major cities was rendered "Chernobyl" status.
I group you into the same one that voiced opposition to our involvement in WWII.
That said, the *REAL* crime would be to allow our precious soldiers to be picked-off at one hundred a month when we have the ability to end it in a blink of an eye.
We surely can't prepare mass graves for the insurgents ala Saddam Hussein style. Nevertheless, they still need killing.
We have the technology to not only drop a bomb through a chimney from thousands of feet up, but to locate living humans behind solid concrete walls.
For expediency's sake and to save perhaps thousands of American military, I prefer the former.
And IMO it should have happened "yesterday".
