How can I justify my opposition to war if I cannot effectively answer a question in this mp3 recording of a radio talk show...?

"How exactly will leaving Saddam in power promote peace and justice in Iraq?"

"There will be civilian deaths in the war. Saddam has killed two million people. There are families here in this country who lost twenty or thirty people on one day in a gas attack by Saddam Hussein, little girl. And I will tell you this: yes civilians will die; my cousins will die, maybe, Allah forbid. But here's a certainty that you do not understand in your simplistic, nickelodeon diplomacy, is that you are guaranteed to have civilians die under Saddam."
