Personally, I sometimes get too caught up in the "big picture," and forget that falling bombs too often drop on people who've done us no wrong...in the case of Iraq (and I've little doubt that bombs will fall), there are lots of people who are trapped and victimized by Saddam's regime who will pay a further price in the coming conflict.
I agree we can't just sit back an let an unbalanced dictator develop WMD that he'll be only too eager to use, or at the very least to use in blackmailing pretty much the entire world.
But when Bowser or Lindy or Mary Anne show me the "human face of the Iraq" and say "Just keep in mind...this is who's paying the real price..." well, it just kind of brings me back to earth.
No one that I know of on these boards has lost track of their humanity or their heart...but a few are more comfortable wearing it on their sleeve than others...nothing wrong either way, I don't think...

- Well, well, well. It looks like Saddam's "unconditional access" offer has some strings attached after all.
