Thanks to our massive defense budget, Iraqi civilian casualties will be minimal. We have plenty of precision guided munitions and so only Iraqi soldiers who don't surrender will die. And maybe a few human shield volunteers.
After a two day long barrage of cruise missiles, Iraqi soldiers will be surrendering to CNN News reporters. I don't think it will last longer than a week. It's kind of ironic that spending so much on defense will actually save hundreds if not thousands of lives. American and Iraqi lives.
One more thing. I was stationed in Panama for 2 1/2 years in the early 90's after Operation Just Cause. It was a very messy operation and hundreds of Panamanian civillians were killed in Just Cause. Yet every Panamanian that I met was glad that we got rid of Manuel Noriega. They blame the deaths on Noriega. He is lucky that he is alive and well in a US prison because he wouldn't survive 5 minutes on the streets of Panama. Panamanians loved Americans when I was there and I spent all of my free time fishing, clubbing, and chasing women. My tour in Panama was the best 2 1/2 years of my life.
