1. I can just about guarantee it's more than that.
I would love to know how the figures are determined.
What is worse is seeing some of the surviving soldiers, 'saved' through
medical prowess. And the numbers of people who will never be the same.

And the number of men,
women,
children,
mothers,
fathers,
sisters,
brothers,
aunts,
uncles,
sons,
daughters,
who are dead in Iraq.

For what?

2. For what?
That is the question any moral being cringes from. We lambasted and leveled a country who never harmed us. We called them evil? Did they lambaste us? Who was evil?

George W Bush will go down in infamy, unless the corporations rewrite American history and applaud him for allowing the taking of the oil to allow American imperialism.

And the hell with U.S. troops deaths.

4. Erika, take that back.
You are SO wrong!
I mourn the Iraqis, but also the troops. There are men and women, boys and girls, who joined the military to find a better way for themselves by joining the service. Don't negate their contributions, in our name, because you bemoan the few assholes in power who are controlling us all.

6. Ahh, gotcha.
I reacted to you saying 'and the hell with the US troops'.
That was rhetorical, but I didn't read it that way at first.
