I didn't say that civilian deaths were "OK", and for you to paint me as if I have no value for life is asinine.
The reality is that war sucks. However, the reality is also that the coalition is not TARGETING civilians. Which is a hell of a lot different than the Iraqis. There are verified incidents of Iraqis firing on their own people, INTENTIONALLY.
It seems to me that my position that the people of Iraq will be safer and better off with Saddam forced out is being shown. And that will SAVE innocent lives. So, I would say that I do value life.
