Truth be told, I hate war. I just think that if the cause is worth going to war for, total annihilation has to be an option. At minimum, your enemy has to believe that you would consider it. If I start a fight with a guy twice my size, I have to expect him to beat my ass hard. He's not going to only hit me as hard as I hit him. He's going to use all his skills to pummel me. I would also expect him to beat the crap out of my friends that are with me and were too dumb to keep me out of trouble.

So we don't want to leave Iraq in part because it would devolve into a civil war resulting in millions of deaths, but we are fine destroying Iraq and wiping out its inhabitants?
