I too think that Iraq is better off without Saddam, hell, the whole world is better off without him. But there was no way he was gonna go just because we'd ask him nicely. So there were casualties, as always in war, but not the numbers estimated by the UN. If i recall correctly they said that in the first week of bombings, there would be a number of 50.000 casualties. Boy, were they wrong. Precision bombings DO make a difference, that much is obvious now.

The war had no effect on me personally. I felt that coalition forces were doing the right thing. The forum hasn't changed much either because of all this, i think, although some members may look slightly different at eachother now. But hey.... you can't be friends with everyone.
