I don't mean to imply that civilinas were the target, but they died nonetheless. In some cases, like the dropping of cluster bombs onto civilian areas, a lot could have been done to prevent those deaths. They didn't target them intentionally, but they didn't exactly do all they could to protect them... and Depleted Uranium is another bag of nuts. I find self control hard to excercise when faced with a brickwit like Inkswitch.
As far as greed motivation goes... look at the amount of money firms directly related to the current administration is making. Look at the staunch protection of Oil fields. To me, there is way too much evidence to support a greed motivated war. Also, how was Saddam the next best thing? He has had nothing to do with international terror, other than local wars (war isn't terror, just ask Bush :)), and his weapons were documented as destroyed by scott ritter in 93 or 94 I believe... Point is, Saddam was no danger whatsoever to any American, until GWB sent them their to wage war.
