Well, maybe bombs aren't WoMD (though in my oppinion they are) but we are going to bomb them with that kind of missiles Saddam isn't allowed to have. Or not?[/QUOTE]You are saying we should fight only with those weapons that the UN allows Iraq?
As for what YOU think are weapons of mass destruction, I think you need to learn a little bit about "scale" killing a couple or a dozen people with a single bomb is far different from killing tens of thousands or even millions.....get a bit of perspective man. [/QUOTE]I remember reading an unsubstantiated report that upwards of 30,000 Taliban were killed because of bombs in the U.S. air campaign in Afganistan.
Regardless, I think you are SERIOUSLY downplaying the devestation of bombs. As I recall one stray bomb during the gulf war killed hundreds of Iraqi as they hid in a shelter.
Also clusterbombs have a long lasting residual effects on population, although the EU and UN have called for a moritorum on these weapons, the U.S. still uses them.
Bombs don't just kill a few people, especially when hundreds of bombs are falling day in and day out.
I think you may benifit from some perspective as well.[/QUOTE]That wasn't a stray bomb it was aimed at that target, a comand and control bunker, a legitamite target under any and all rules of war(an oxmoron if there ever was one
) If anybody is going to get pissed about that then get pissed at the right people responsible for it. The idiots that allowed their families into a comand and control bunker, the Iraqi military.
