1.5 million people die a year of malaria, hundreds of thousands from gastroentertitis and other preventable diseases. Then there's those that die from from influenza, H.I.V, Tb and numerous other infections. Why isn't there a war on these?

The attack on the WTC was unjustifiable anyway you look at it, but there are equally horrible things happening around the world every year, where MANY more people die, and often children. Do you know what child mortality is like in most of the African continent?

I'm sorry if a sentimental article on the WTC doesn't convince me that invading Iraq is a good idea. Iraq and the WTC are not connected in any convincing way.

Also I'm sick to death of people concluding that being anti-war = anti-US. I'm just anti a foreign policy that is quick to consider war.
