and please remind me what were all these people guilty of? Yes Saddam is guilty and should be hanged, I have no doubt about it, shouldn't Bush be the next in line?

Hmm...Saddam killed an estimated 3,000,000 with his two wars against his neighbors and the slaughter of several hundreds of thousands of his own people. Even if you accept the 100,000 figure since the invasion the coalition forces have a way to go to catch up with his record. Think we can break it?
"Civilians" are most often called "innocent" but in general militants/militaries cannot fight without the support of civilians...from providing shit paper to weapons...from hiding to feeding...housing...and assisting. Unlike the 2nd World War...the Korean and Vietnam wars to a lesser extent...civilians are not being targeted by coalition forces...but are most certainly considered to be exceptable collateral damage.
