Thread Name: BS: The Lancet Study / Iraqi Civilian Deaths
Subject: RE: BS: The Lancet Study / Iraqi Civilian Deaths
Number Six:
Would it still be a travesty of humanity if the United States was obviously winning?
If it is felt that events in Rwanda which led to the deaths of almost a million civilians and in Darfur, Sudan which has led to the deaths of almost half a million civilians, constitute travesties, then is it a travesty to attempt to remove an acknowledged brutal dictator who may be a threat to countries outside his own?
Or are you making the point that the attempt may not be a travesty, but poor execution, slipshod administration, and bad actors on the world stage have changed what could have been an act against travesty into travesty itself?
If so, what constitutes for you the tipping point?
