1) The average death per bomb was less than 1. Strikes mostly hit things which had already been evacuated.

2) When human shields get hit we blame the side that put them in harm's way, not the side that harmed them. Just look at the criminal trials in police actions--a hostage dies when SWAT hits a place, the murder rap lands on the person who took the hostage even if it turns out to be a police bullet in the hostage.

And your note about WMD--said WMD existed. On paper. We read the paper, didn't realize it was underlings lying to Saddam.
