And it's wrong to break up a fight by hurting people too.
If I see a rapist attacking someone it'd be wrong for me to punch him, because all violence is wrong.
Morals are relative - there's no absolutes involved here.
Thankfully, so far, the vast majority of the Iraqis are putting up no resistance or are actively surrendering. I'd really rather keep the bloodshed to a minimum. If this keeps up, it'll hopefully all be over as quickly as the first Gulf War was and the rebuilding can get started.
