Utter Contempt' for Humanity

Even though I am from the James Brown school of "don't start none, won't be none (IEEE we don't have any business over there and should have expected resistance)," I agree that this "war" has just turned into one big mass of civilian carnage and property destruction. So this goes for EVERYBODY involved:

"We are deeply concerned by the devastating impact that the fighting in Iraq is having on the people of that country," said Pierre Kraehenbuehl, the ICRC's director of operations.

"As hostilities continue in Fallujah and elsewhere, every day seems to bring news of yet another act of utter contempt for the most basic tenet of humanity: the obligation to protect human life and dignity," he added.

"For the parties to this conflict, complying with international humanitarian law is an obligation, not an option," Kraehenbuehl said in an unusually tough statement by the relief agency.

There are no WMD's and Saddam is gone. What could our mission possibly be that is worthy of all of this misery and how many people have to die (no matter who kills them) before it will end?
