Iron Ranger,
There are no innocents (sp?) in a combat zone, any one with a weapon is fair game. It won't be another Somalia, the reason that was a Charlie Foxtrot, the operation was run from Washington D.C. and not from the field comanders. The field comanders wanted armour form the very begining, but the "Rhodes Scholar" (Bill Clinton) and the "brain trusts" he had in his cabinet thought they knew more about military action then the people in Somalia. Those that forget history are condemed to repeat it! LBJ did the very same thing in S.E. Asia. President Bush isn't going to play that game.
If the Iraqi people were really armed they would overthrow Sodanm Insane. It's all B.S. designed to scare the US population into backing down. MAKE NO MISTAKE people will die if it comes to war, it will not be bloodless. But the reality is it's a NFL team against a jr college team or high school team.
