However, to gut a sovereign nation and put its long-oppressed people in the middle of a shooting gallery between the USA and terrorists is irresponsible.
How is this now, or ever, going to be avoidable? The terrorists enjoy the "cover" of the societies that they infect. Can't we state with some clarity that millions of long-oppressed Germans were put in the middle of a shooting gallery during WWII?

Did we declare war on Iraq? Did Iraq declare war on us? I am not sure the situations are analogous except to say that yes, civilians die in war.
