Good one. I'm a pissed off Iraqi looking for revenge. All I care about is the fact that my daughter (son, brother, father, mother) was killed by an American bomb. That's good enough for me.
Iraqi Death Toll?

ghostrider, devil's advocate won't work on me........
to those who are pissed let them do as they please, I think in the end you will find that the large majority of the (non-aristocracy)Iraqi population is glad Saddam is out of power.

So most of the attacks are being carried out by rich Iraqis? The ones with the most to gain from the soon to be capitalist market?
Hey, what happened to Old_Dude? He started this whole mess?
There's the crux of the matter. They lied. If, from the beginning, the Bush Regime had advertised this invasion as one to liberate the Iraqi people from a brutal dictator, then the UN and the rest of the supposed allies might have gotten behind it. However, they didn't. They pushed the WMD line because, in Paul Wolfowitz's own words, "It was something we (the US hawks) could all agree on.".
Yes, Iraq will be a better place without Saddam and his boys, but THAT wasn't the first reason we went in there.
The Cheese
...townfolk, pass out the torches, drag him away from the toothless skeezer he's buying drinks for at the local honky-tonk, tree him and burn that sucker to the ground! Haha!
I don't want to get involved in this argument, but I need to point out that this is simply innaccurate.
words like "MANY" and "FEW" are a little subjective, but I can assure you, that there were VERY FEW jews still in hiding in cities, by the time American bombers were flying over Germany. We know this for several reasons, but I'd rather not sidetrack the debate by starting this new one.
Also, Anne Frank was taken to a concentration camp (Bergen Belsen) where she died.
But you are going to do it anyway
Understood, I was just using here for the "hiding" example. Also I should say that it would be more of the Brits that would have caused friendly casulties in their bombing runs....not the Americans. You r correct.
