For your perusal, a letter to the editor from a paper I used to work for. I'm assuming the editors came up with the nuanced headline:
End war quickly: Nuke Iraqi cities
The battle for Baghdad looms on the horizon. Coalition forces are poised to attack Baghdad, a city of 5 million people. Tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of innocent Iraqi civilians will be killed. A military analyst recently said our military forces are expecting a 70 to 90 percent casualty rate should we go ahead with this invasion. Saddam Hussein has shown he will stop at nothing to defend his homeland and save himself... The time is now for the president to stop this war and bring every soldier home.
There is only one solution to the evil that is Saddam Hussein. I pray President Bush will take a cue from one of our great former presidents, Harry S. Truman, and attack Iraq with nuclear weapons.
We should give Saddam Hussein and his henchmen 24 hours to surrender unconditionally. When he does not, vaporize Basra. Then, like dominos, move north, destroying every major city, until only Baghdad is left. If Saddam does not get the message or his followers do not revolt, Baghdad will be only a dusty memory.
Many in the global community, in the current administration, and in Congress have called for careful "surgical" strikes to save the innocents of Iraq while putting our troops in grave danger. No Iraqi life is worth saving if it costs the life of one U.S. soldier.

Wow. Note that the author prays that Bush will make this humanitarian decision. Wonder if he's a wolf collector who likes browsing the personals?
