I wouldn't be pissed at the body count if this were actually a *just* war--one we could rightly claim to be involved in for reasons of self-defense. But it's not. Unfortunately, now that we're in it, we have to see it through. We have a moral obligation to maintain civil order until the Iraqi people can do that for themselves, and I just don't see how that's gonna happen. The only thing more wrong than invading in the first place would be leaving while the place is still a shambles. Unfortunately I'm not sure what the answer is.
