Do you consider the likely over 2 million dead middle-easterners (as a result of this war action) as a waste? Or is that the 'gotta break a few eggs' thing? I see most humans as equal, certainly not better or worse on a racial or social whole. So a few million dead crushes me more than a few thousand. And usually, so far, we don't send old woman and young children into combat... I only wish to point out that every life lost in war is a waste. Inasmuch as dying is kind of wasteful (from one little angle), we have already gone over that.
Just so we're clear Pip ... I was specifically referring to the troops since it was "us" (the US & the UK) that instigated the conflict.
No, I don't view all human life as equal, in some parts of the world life is cheap.
