Human Shields and Choice

[WarBlade]

But you don't think that the American war machine appears to operate in a callous and indiscriminatory manner?  Crafty phrasing.  I would ask them then, "What US military actions lead them to have that view?"

Well, from what I've seen of the interviews, I'd have to say they have some similar ideas to my own, yes.

As for asking examples of them, I only recall them mentioning the 400 killed in the bomb shelter. My answer OTOH would be "search Google". I did a similar search a couple of months back with terms like "military blunder", "collateral damage" and "civilian casualties". I wasn't surprised to find the usual news items we see on TV, but the accounts from military and ex-military personnel about the shortcomings of their own systems were deeply troubling.

The reality is that they are trying to get in the way of the"somewhat disunited nations" ability to present a credible threat of force.

I'm scratching my head over that one. The Human Shields are trying to impede the UN's attempt to present a case of credible threat of force at Hussein? (Assuming I interpret that right)

That doesn't sound like the situation at all.

With out the credible threat of force, Saddam will not comply with the disunited nations, and so war becomes the ultimate result.

Perhaps.
