Well, it was a war, of course people died. It is conveniently forgotten that strategic bombing of pretty much everything in Germany was part and parcel of the concept of war. Modern war is so much more selective and careful about civilian casualties that this guy's Pollyannish expectation of absolutely 100% zero ciilian casualties is laughable.

This was the most carefully conducted invasion I've ever heard of. However, comparing it to other wars is not the point. Comparing it to not starting the war at all was the point, and for that, we must look at the country as the "reconstruction" develops and see if the balance sheet is in the black on this one.

Then we're still in the clear, because if we had not gone to war, but had simply maintained the sanctions, tens of thousands would have died each month. Well, that's according to the figures put out by many of the same far-left groups that opposed the war.
