By this grim math, the war in Iraq killed fewer Iraqis than Saddam Hussein would have killed in the same amount of time. Interesting point. It may even cut to a basic moral problem of the war. But it's still a lot of ends-justifying-means. The writer, H.D. Miller, says the war "by any standard ... was right and just," but he seems to forget that the easy, chemical-free invasion and the generally low body count argue against the whole excuse for invading — that Saddam was a serious threat.
