No, you are not "just curious". You are trying to paint me into a corner, so that you can trot out your "moral superiority" and wave it around to let us all know how ineffably wonderful you are. Like Mother Teresa, only BETTER! No American strike will be aimed at "women and children", or at innocent noncombatants in general. But are there going to be some killed anyway? Oh, yes. Probably quite a few.

War is a VERY BAD THING, which is why these folks should have thought about the likely results before starting one with us.

No one would ever mistake me for Mother Teresa.

As a matter of fact, I agree with you on both counts. Although it will come as a disappointment to some, the United States is not going to "nuke 'em all and let God sort 'em out." I am confident that the military planners will do their best to avoid civilian casualties, as they should.

Nevertheless, there are likely to be civilian casualties, despite our best intentions.

Agreed.
