Many more would have most likely died under US bombs. But in fairness, Obama hasn't made war, he has so far been successful in preventing war. If it holds then his popularity can only rise and he'll walk away from it with an incomparable legacy at least in the eyes of the rest of the world.
I still criticize you for the fact that you were incapable of imagining the endgame and were just as intent on war as the right ever has been. It's a sad fact that Americans don't oppose their own president's war. That destroys your credibility that you could have had if you had been capable of imagining Obama's endgame.
And not to say that Obama won't prove 'me' wrong by promoting his war and actually accomplishing it. Just to say that I had the courage right from the start to give him the benefit of the doubt.
You're really no better than the warmongering right who you argue with. Worse in some ways because you have taken the prowar side. At least they were able to be anti-war for dishonest reasons which was purely Obama hate.
