Lets calm down there. I know this will be a bit of a buzz kill but I feel this needs to be said now.

There is a job to be done, but leveling Iraq is not part of it. Iraq has a populace that is educated enough and westernized enough to become the first ever democracy in the Middle East. The importance of that cannot be overstated for both our and Iraq's benefit.

Freeing the Iraqi people does not involve blowing them up.

oh, yeah... GO US!

BTW, I think this strategy is brilliant. It sends a message to the Iraqi people that we are not after them, but their leaders. It keeps Saddam on the run, which keeps him from running his military and possibly authorizing biological and chemical weapons or giving the go ahead to light the oil fields. Plus it surprises them, as they have been expecting a "shock and awe" campaign (which i still think is coming). Absolutely brilliant.
