The continuous bombing of Iraq's cities for more than a decade. Accidental? The fact that in the past 3 years, the death toll to the Iraqi civilians was twice that under Saddam... Accidental?<BR/><BR/>What's next, the entire war was accidental?<BR/><BR/>In reference to point 1, until Kuwait, Saddam was America's buddy, and was entirely backed by them.<BR/><BR/>In reference to point 2, it's your government's policy to do whatever the hell's in its interest, and innocent civilians be damned. I suppose they thought that boosting the opium and cocaine trade in Afghanistan to help give their groups funds to fight against the Communists was just a way of injecting sunshine and lollipops, hmm?<BR/><BR/>It's really not hard to lump the US with "these killers" - all of Saddam's biological weapons were US gifts. All his weapons programs: based off those gifts. How about you go read what America's been up to before telling me that I'm "getting more extreme".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5814418.post-1124808681888098322005-08-23T09:51:00.000-05:002005-08-23T09:51:00.000-05:00Not surprisingly, I agree with John. You get more...Not surprisingly, I agree with John. You get more extreme day by day. Yes, our troops have accidentally killed a lot of people, but there are two HUGE differences. <BR/><BR/>1) They regret everyone of them and mourn when it happens. Do you think Saddam or his troops mourned when they put a bullet through the head of five year old? Or threw someone's dad into a woodchipper?<BR/><BR/>2) It's not our military's or Government's policy to kill innocent civilians, unlike it was Saddam's.<BR/><BR/>I know you want to lump us in with these killers, but to do it you reach far beyond your limits.Christopher Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07422080978963114933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5814418.post-1124802421356971372005-08-23T08:07:00.000-05:002005-08-23T08:07:00.000-05:00Za; You get wackier ever day.Za; You get wackier ever day.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5814418.post-1124782885362235382005-08-23T02:41:00.000-05:002005-08-23T02:41:00.000-05:00And there are conservative estimates placing the U...And there are conservative estimates placing the US-induced death toll at more than 500,000 in Iraq for the past 10 or more years.<BR/><BR/>Not to mention the fact that almost everyone Saddam killed was done either as a US-paid op (as in the Ba'athist coups) or with US WMDs and US endorsement.<BR/><BR/>Hardly a glowing record for yourself, is it?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5814418.post-1124774176591743222005-08-23T00:16:00.000-05:002005-08-23T00:16:00.000-05:00the most conservative estimates were around 300,00...the most conservative estimates were around 300,000, but after all the mass graves that have been found since it has easily topped one million.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5814418.post-1124722927615483182005-08-22T10:02:00.000-05:002005-08-22T10:02:00.000-05:00Yes it is.
