Maybe you could ask Ranxer to help you out with the whole depleted uranium argument. I bet for every substantive qualification you can find that states that each DU round pollutes the earth for eons, I can find some that refute it. That's not to say you are right or wrong, only that you can't concretely prove it either way. I think it would be safe to say that the jury is still out on the DU matter.

I'm willing to concede to your point that even the use of "smart" bombs in a military conflict of questionable justification is unethical. Would you be willing to concede that the United States has gone to great lengths to develop munitions that acheive military objectives as relatively painlessly as possible? You could certainly say that 1 death is too many. I would say that 3,000 dead in a conflict involving heavy urban fighting is miraculous. It's a matter of prospectives I suppose.
