We could have done a 1945 version of Saddam Insane.....simply contain the bastards until they quit. Sure, it may have taken a while longer, but many more lives would have been saved,

Riiiiiiiiight. You would be posting messages about the "starving" Japanese children, who starve because we are blockading Japan.

and the Anti-American crowd would not be able to yammer endlessly on the subject.

Reality check. The anti american crowd *is* yammering about our containment of Saddam. Saddam needs to be taken out ASAP. Containment won't do. Most Americans believe it was a mistake and that there were better alternatives.

Who made you the spokesman for most of the Americans?

Perhaps in Brighton Beach they refuse to admit their errors, but in the rest of 'merica, when we make a mistake we admit it and move on.

I don't follow. What made you bring up Brighton Beach, and exactly how familiar are you with it to categorize/generalize the people who live there?

No one would have complained about 'starving' Jap babies as long as the war was on. Blockades and Sieges are legitimate acts of warfare covered under USFM 27-10 and all the usual Geneva Conventions.
