I'm not sure which would say less about you. If you have never thought about the suffering we are inflicting or if you have and simply don't give a damn.

I do not agree with your "assumptions"...and they are assumptions. The duly elected representatives of the US made the decision to take down Saddam and the Baathist party...and in my opinon this decision should have been made within the first year of the '91 truce and the terms that Saddam and his Generals agreed to...and almost immediately violated.
The military of Iraq was defeated in three weeks and Iraq now has a new interim governmnet and constitution. I do not give a damn about the suffering we are inflicting as the solution to their suffering is simple...lay down their arms and turn in those that are killing coalition forces as well as killing their fellow Iraqi's...but I do give a damn about the suffering that is being inflicted upon our forces...UN personell...and all of the other orgs that are there to relieve the suffering of the Iraqi's.
