Subject: RE: BS: Should the Uk & US go to war with Iraq?
In the last war in the Persian Gulf, we (USA) lost some 147 American military personnel.
85,000 Iraqis perished (most of them civilians).
These numbers are unacceptable.
I heard today that the first "campaign" of bombs in the forthcoming invasion will, in one day, equal the bombs used in the first 40 days of the Persian Gulf conflict in the 1990s. The name for this act of destruction? "Operation Shock and Awe."
