Yes, I do. Siege them, starve them, and if that doesn't get them out, then blast them to oblivion. Strategic war 101. You can't leave things the way it was. They were not facing genocide, etc. They were facing the horrible threat of elections...egads. They were using the city as their launching pad to attack the rest of the country. Funny thing was, other Iraqis didn't feel sorry for them at the time. Now why was that?

And if a foreign govt had been tied directly to 9/11, I would have fully supported nuking their capitol. If you drag me into a fight and use dirty tactics, you better be ready to get your teeth kicked in when you are down. That's the way I approach it.

Then again, unlike certain Europeans, I want to see things get done, not just playing pocket pool.
