This war isn't against a single country. Its not the US government vs. the Iraqi government. We are battling a group that is very shady. They're always there and yet they can just as easily disappear. They are terrorists. Please don't feed me the load of bs that Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11. That is a thought for the naive. Iraq is/was a terrorist harboring nation. They welcomed them with open arms, Saddam Hussein being a terrorist himself. This is a war against terrorism, not against one country.

Regarding the "excessive power" we've used: Did you want us to downscale our weapons in order for it to be a fair war? You said it yourself, theres still 3,000+ American soldiers dead along with who knows how many allied soldiers. Excessive exshmessive. The innocent will die unitentionally, but incidentally it will happen. 3,000 of our innocent died already at the hands of terrorists on a single day.

"Worry about the extremist mosque down the street..."

Chief, the majority of those terrorists (if not all, I can't recall) were from Saudi Arabia. Spare me the argument of "well why not go to war with Saudi Arabia?" as I've already pointed out there is a lot on the plate right now. Not to mention, if we start persecuting our own people then everyone will yell at Bush anyways for racial stereotyping. Lose, lose situation. People bitch anyway you cut it.

Has Bush ordered anybody to death over this war yet? Not that I know of-especially his own people. This is war. You go after the most dangerous people, and you take them dead or alive. We live in a democratic country. No one person orders anyone to death. It goes through the courts.
