You know, that is part of the issue. Prior to invading Iraq our administration estimated that 1 out of 4 Iraqis hated us and or would die for their cause. That comes to 5 million people. I think if you go to a war with 5 million people you have to be willing to kill those whose minds you can't change. Either that or you don't go to war. But that's just my opinion.
But I think your plan is not to Moab 5 million but 2.95 billion... Don't you think that's a little excessive?
And how would you identify the 5 million that hated us and would die for the cause? Do you just do what the Nazis did... Go in and massacre whole villages...men, women, and children? If you do that...how do you know if you killed the correct 5 million?
The problem and solution aren't as black and white as you make it.
