It would be interesting for someone, for comparisons' sake, to research the total deaths that occurred during the 12-year "containment" of Saddam. I recall quite a few getting killed in Kuwait, some from hostile fire last November. I'll bet the total is well over 100.
The only alternative suggested by the anti-war crowd was continued "containment," which they imply is "inexpensive."
Of course, the fact is, it cost many billion$$$$
and, more importantly, we paid in blood as well, for that "containment"
Of course, Cnn and Peter Jennings don't have enough analtic ability for the job.
Even though the page says you need to be a registered user, I managed to access the public database without providing a userId/pwd combination. It's worth looking at, I suppose!
