1. I feel so sick inside about what this gov't has done in our name.

Where is the 'pro-life' outrage at this slaughter???
There must be at least a few thousand fetuses killed along with
their ambulatory incubators and other fully actualized human
beings.
Maybe it's because they are brown.
And Muslim.
And living on top of 'our' oil.

3. LAT: "Poll: Civilian toll in Iraq may top 1M"

BAGHDAD -- -- A car bomb blew up in the capital's Shiite Muslim neighborhood of Sadr City on Thursday, killing at least four people, as a new survey suggested that the civilian death toll from the war could be more than 1 million.

The figure from ORB, a British polling agency that has conducted several surveys in Iraq, followed statements this week from the U.S. military defending itself against accusations it was trying to play down Iraqi deaths to make its strategy appear successful.


The military has said civilian deaths from sectarian violence have fallen more than 55% since President Bush sent an additional 28,500 troops to Iraq this year, but it does not provide specific numbers.

According to the ORB poll, a survey of 1,461 adults suggested that the total number slain during more than four years of war was more than 1.2 million.

ORB said it drew its conclusion from responses to the question about those living under one roof: "How many members of your household, if any, have died as a result of the conflict in Iraq since 2003?"

4. The numbers are astonishing .

I was at the CSN&Y impeach the president concert a year ago in July , I have not been to a place in year with so many people , there were 18,000 . Since there was this crowd and the setting was after all a concert of protest I could not help but look around at the size of the crowd and try to imagine what over a million would look like . I could not get this out of my head just looking at 18,000 people which is samll compared to the number of Iraqis let alone the troops killed which that number is another lie and the troops wounded in the tens of thousands .

It is mind chilling , there has to be a way for people to come to realize that these numbers each represent a life that was wiped away for nothing at all but profits and lies and stinking oil not to mention the shear madness of it all and the hate .
