Ok, maybe you guys are underestimating the fact that it's a "complex" object model.
For example I have a root object with a bunch of children. The problem is that at various levels (depth) in the structure I have relationships across the structure to other levels (depth). You can't just delete a root object as it does not make sense for the root object to know about a leaf object (directly) within the structure. That is why Nhibernate needs to go and select the children to find the leaf objects to be able to delete them. I still think I'd like to be able to tell nhibernate to (in those cases instead of enumerating all the various levels of child lists, doing single selects at a time) query the whole object graph for the entity in question in one shot. I'm just not sure how I would go about doing this...
