We also don't purposly target civilians either, we spend billions to upgrade weapons so that they are more and more precise, liberating those people will be humanitarian..I really suggest you talk to tome of the people who used to live there if you want the full horror story of his regime. I thought I had a fair view, but I was being too generaous on Saddam's behalf. The people of Iraq want us there, they are worried about what kind of government will come later and do not want to be a puppet state of the USA but they want the US to liberate them from Saddams abuses. And according to my Turkish friend, (his name ...well the americanized version of his name is Metm) the Turkish common person and the Turkish military Want the US to use their bases to end the threat of Saddam, on the other hand, they may also have an eye on Kurdistan aka Northern Iraq too.....

So if your house got destroyed it would all be okay as long as they'd pay to rebuild it?
Not to mention that human suffering cannot be measured in dollars. These people are already so hurt that war would totally destroy them. Many people will be traumatised...
But I know I know... precise weapons and stuff.
Yet people still die, don't they? They still miss. And little kids end up without their parents and their legs.
For your information I
have spoken to A LOT of Iraqi people, and yes, they do want to get rid of Saddam, but they don't want their country under war. I have also spoken to our Serbian family friends before the bombings and they also wanted to get rid of Milosevic, but not by bombing. And that was one of the worst things that happened to them. They were crying on the phone to us every day because they were so scared. So I don't think you should judge what a nation thinks by talking to one of them. I don't think anyone would like it when their country would get attacked, and everyone would like to try other alternatives first.
