Yes, but it is the Iranian madmen that will make that the fact, as in this case.

In the last war that the U.S. actually won, (unless you count Granada) many civilians had to be killed...It's the civilians that provide the the structure for the military to operate in...

it is the Iranian madmen that will make [the inevitable deaths of innocents] fact, as in this case.

I do not believe in the concept of an innocent people brought to disaster by madmen at the helm of their nation.

A country does not go to military madness with a few unexpected acts from a rogue leader. The suicidal direction of Iran's policies -- like those of Germany throughout the 1930s -- are an expression of a sustained political consensus or, at the very least, an acquiescence in the direction of those policies.

In this age of individualism, we are still profoundly bound to our national community. We share in its triumphs. We suffer from its follies. Sometimes we need to take a stand.
