To continue with richlevy's line of thought, what the hell are we doing comparing civilian body counts in an attempt to prove which side is the one of the angels? One man kills 10 people; another kills 100. Does this mean the jury in the trial of the first man lets him off because it could have been worse?

Anyone who wants to argue US intervention in Iraq on humanitarian grounds is making a false premise. 14% of the population in Rwanda were killed in its recent civil war. No American intervention there was ever seriously considered, and Rwanda is but one of many recent historical examples.
