Very sad indeed. But I imagine many archaeologists might actually support a war with Iraq since that would allow them to dig for artifacts there, which they aren't allowed to do right now.

I would hope archeologists arn't as cold-blooded as that. Supporting the murder of tens of thousands of children so they can go on a dig?

I hope they're not as cold-blooded as that either. But I was just point out that they have a vested interest in it.

No, but you might as well. That is, if you don't mind profiting from other people's destruction.

lets buy stock in mcdonalds and starbucks as well because they'll probably be expanding to Iraq and Afghanistan very soon

From a purely historical point of view, I think carpet bombing Iraq will be a very sad event.

Iraq won't be carpet-bombed. From a purely military point of view, carpet bombing is no longer either necessary nor desireable.

I wish i had your faith in George Bush.

If areas of Iraq need carpet bombing they will get carpet bombed. End of story. Just like areas of Afghanistan got dozens of daisy cutters dropped on them.

btw, i thought they were sending 800 cruise missiles into Baghdad on the first day? Followed by massive bombing to produce the so-called "shock and awe" effect?

Afghanistan and iraq are two extremely different countries. Most military targets in iraq are in or around large civilian populations. Carpet bombing is also extremely expensive, and is a tactic seldom used by the US anymore.

since we attacking a country that will be valuable to us in the future. even if you think that the war is only about oil, it would make no sense to carpet bomb an area when two or three smart bombs will do the trick. Also, as i have stated in these forums many times, the US has the best precision bombing system in the world, and we do more to avoid civilian casualities than anyone else.

this is only because our weapons are so lethal. Also, this is because of the first gulf war, and we were using many new technologies for the first time on the battlefield. This time around it will be much different. My father was an apache pilot in the first gulf war and he told me about how one of his friends took out two friendly tanks and killed six marines. Apaches can hit targets up to two miles away, unfortunately the navigation systems were flawed, causing them to think they were in enemy territory when they were not. because a single missle is all that was needed to take out a tank, by the time they found out they were friendlies it was too late.

I love how our smart bombs only kill bad people. Yep, they're pretty smart bombs, except some troops like Canadians have the same heat signatures as bad people... go figure.

To call humans 'rational beings' does injustice to the term, 'rational.'  Humans are capable of rational thought, but it is not their essence.  Humans are animals, beasts with complex brains.  Humans, more often than not, utilize their cerebrum to rationalize what their primal instincts, their preconceived notions, and their emotional desires have presented as goals - humans are rationalizing beings.

You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity. What one person receives without working for another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for that my dear friend is the beginning of the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it. ~ Adrian Rogers

there is no such thing as a heat seeking smart bomb. missles, yes, bombs, no. Also, friendly fire has existed ever since the invention of the gun, it's very unfortunate, but it's a fact of war.
