1. Wow. I hadn't thought of it in those terms.

Very sobering, very sad. And our national security has only been undermined even as our soldiers continue to die. :(

2. Half way

I wouldn't be surprised if part of the "decision" (I use the term quite loosely) criteria for Shrub for invading Iraq was estimated US KIA less than or equal to the 9/11 KIA.

3. Civilian deaths in Iraq > 30 times 9/11

4. At least. But for those who still "believe" that usa worth > iraqis

So throw these numbers at them, in a did-you-know sort of way. Them being those who believe that "our" soldiers are more important than Iraqis, that any dead Iraqis are insurgents and that any such numbers for Iraqi civilians are inflated for propaganda purposes.
