That makes a little more sense but is still a pretty stupid idea. It's 
like the people that want us to compensate Native Americans for the loss 
of their land. It's to late to make anything up to the people we 
actually hurt and most of us alive today aren't the people responsible.

Of course I still think we should kill every living thing in Iraq. I 
might even go so far as to poison the land so nothing could grow. Total 
war is the shortest route to victory. Very Biblical - kindness has no 
place in war. It'd be the most effective way to end the war and make 
sure everyone else was afraid of us. After we kill everyone, I'd be okay 
with compensating the survivors. Pretty easy if there are none.
