Ardent - you really resist logical discussions dont you?
Lets say the death toll from Saddam in Iraq over the years is as suggested by most Human Right agencies of between 200-250,00 people and with at least that many still at risk if the regime stayed in power (and I wont substantiate this - its fact do some research)
Then - as unpalatable as further deaths may seem to you in an armed process to remove the regime - and given the civilian death toll which numbers in the hundreds (~450) at the moment double, trebles or even a 10-fold to say 4,500 (an absolutely Armagennonesque scenario considering the death toll to date and hence most most unlikely) - still.....is that not worth it?
Yes, it is a calculation of the relative death tolls and gruesome and macabre - but is it not a valid comparison??
It is truely a moral dilemma that you seem to refuse to see. To do nothing WILL lead to a FAR GREATER death toll.
