Body count. (Iraq)

Even "if" the Iraq war is legitimate, can



25'000 deaths be justified due to military intervention?

Re: Body count. (Iraq)

Deaths can never really be justified.

But we tried trade sanctions first, and instead of hurting Saddam, 500,000 children died (apparently).

So maybe this was the lesser of two evils?

The deaths of Iraqi civilians deserve more publicity. People are always saying "support our troops" but I have never seen "support the Iraqi people"

and those are the same people who said the war was justified to save the Iraqis.
