>I think that 6,000 dead Iraqis were also entitled to due process, or at least a little better evidence of wrong doing before we dropped bombs on them.

You do realize, don't you, that most of those Iraqi civilian casualties were never proven to be the result of American fire? Considering the mass graves found, it's not much of a stretch to say that Saddam might have been the one responsible for killing them.

Actually Mike4Freedom has significantly inflated the number if he means civilians, and if he means civilians plus military, he pulled it out of his arse.

And you're right that the number pales in comparison to those murdered by Saddam every year for the past 20 years.

But then, if you're feeling uncomfortable for having been opposed to the war, anything that would show Hussein to be more than a "two-bit despot" is counterproductive.

Sure, they all died from car accidents. It had nothing to do with all the bombs dropped on their heads.

Is that your best argument?
