'Softening them up' I suppose. Regardless of the justifications or human costs, the war has already been initiated. Personally I think it's madness, and with a little luck there really is a hell for all of our world's warmongers to burn in in the afterlife. But if not, the profiteers of such butchery shall be laughing all the way to the bank.

Don't suppose you would care to put a link to some explanations of this? From the information that I have, US and British planes have been striking at Anti-Aircraft weapons that were in the process of locking them up. This is the process where they target the planes with radar in preperation to fire the AA missile or their AAA guns.
While some of these Missiles are located in populated areas that is not the fault of the US or the British. You do not see the British and the Americans locating their weapons systems in population centers just to deter attacks against them. I would also hardly call attacks against aggressive anti-aircraft defenses as a "war".
