All nice and dandy, but how do you prevent a guy like Hussein to lob his scuds, with whatever warheads he has on them> He lobbed them before on Israel with no provocation. If he is willing to reign terror on cities that are not even bordering his country, how do you prevent him from doing that again, without, for instance exposing his cities and civilian population to a similar threat?

I am not particularly impressed with Germany "complaint" about Dresden, after all, long before Dresden, London was exposed to nightly bombardment, first from aircrafts, then from VI and then VII (actually the Scud is a very close cousin of the VII, the same engineers designed both...). I am not sure if it was "necessary", but I can understand the "give them a taste of their own medicine" mentality.

What is the "justification" for the initial "Shock & Awe" bombing campaign??... Which will, undoubted, "crater" Bagdad - killing an untold number of civilians.... Haven't the Iraqi people suffered enough? This is, after all, about ridding Iraq of an oppressive and brutal dictator..... But in all their infinite wisdom, the Bushites have opted to try and spare the civilian infrastructure - because they will need it when they take over Iraq - someone else's country.....

Something is SOOO NOT "RIGHT!" here!!....
