Commander 598 Posted July 17, 2002 Author Posted July 17, 2002 It is a simple measure, does taking out a factory and the deaths of civilians, mean less deaths overall? Generally when you destroy ammunition factories it takes away the ability for that country to wage war. Of course it also helps to blockade them so no weapons can be shiped in.
Admiral Odin Posted July 17, 2002 Posted July 17, 2002 Which would mean less deaths overall, hence the destruction of the factories.
Tierce Posted July 17, 2002 Posted July 17, 2002 I could be wrong, but doesn't Hussien build his ammunition factories right next to schools and hospitals? So if we did decide to bomb military targets we would be also destroying civilian targets which would further tarnish are image in Arab world

Admiral Odin Posted July 17, 2002 Posted July 17, 2002 Yes and he keeps women and children in his bunkers. Civilians losses can't be prevented only diminished. If we let those factories go, then others will get the idea and then were would we be?
Taarkin Posted July 17, 2002 Posted July 17, 2002 Instead of leaflets, sprinkle them with copies of Sadam's orders to herd civies into military targets.
