That's the price of freedom as they say in America! MOHAHAHA
I'd have to agree. I think it's time this slaughter is over.
34000 universes destroyed; and the others? the Lancet figure? All because some Wolfowitz, now quietly president of the Bank World had a 'docrtrine' to experiment, and some others on the contrary had interests? Is it the way the world is now governed?
r u sure that only Bush is responsible for that? this 'silence' is making me feel that we are either deff or ... whatever
Wait a minute, we're blaming the US troops for these deaths? The Iraqi insurgents are the ones killing Iraqis, NOT the Coalition forces. Quit letting the liberal media spoon-feed you the news that sells, and start thinking with your own brains for a change.
To the above poster:
I'm not saying that all conservatives are stupid, but that all stupid people are conservatives.
Get an education and don't join the army!
Ditto's Duffman!
Too many lemmings in the US voting booths last time around. Pull the troops out of Iraq to bring peace to the region? Maybe they believe that crime would go away too - if we just got rid of those police in our cities.
no, kind sir, 'the troops' didn't kill them and no one can seriously suggest that they did. our *government* killed them, as surely as if rymsfeld, wolfowitz , and cheney had pulled the trigger themselves.
you're a simple fool; the administration loves you.
Duffman...and anyone like you. Your defense of this and willingness to 'blame the media' is both deeply wrong and sickening. Don't you understand? It doesn't matter who is doing the killing. These deaths and the 600,000 before them and thousands that will follow are a direct result of our invasion. Would people have died if we did not invade? No question. We know beyond any doubt that Iraq was not a threat to America and we knew it 3 years ago. It's the incredible mismanagement of the war that has led to these deaths. A trillion dollars, 3000 Americans dead, over 22 thousand wounded for life with more to come.
At what point does it begin to dawn on you that it's not the media here that matters? It's the reality on the ground.

What the hell? 34000 civilians last year alone?? And this is how the US Government brings peace. Seems like too high a price to pay for the lives lost in the US from the attacks that started all of this if you ask me
