Another reason...
...to oppose a war on Iraq. From this CBS article detailing the US military plans for airstrikes:
"There will not be a safe place in Baghdad," said one Pentagon official who
has been briefed on the plan.
Are we forgetting that Baghdad is a city populated with civilians!?
I heard on NPR yesterday that they are now trying to sell this war as a war to bring democracy to Iraq and liberate it from Saddam Hussein. I guess they realized that nobody was buying the "war on terrorism" angle, so now it's to better the lives of the Iraqi people. I'm sure they'll appreciate that after we turn Baghdad into another Hiroshima or Nagasaki. Note- They used the same change of message during the Afghanistan invasion when the US's bloodlust from the 9/11 attack started to wear off. They started telling us it was to help the women of Afghanistan while they dropped cluster bombs on Afghani villages.
