Just a quick note on death tolls.... It's a little callous but it has to
be understood. If you want to do it based on math then you
better use the right math.
Puts WTC and Saddam's gas attacks in perspective....
Since the sanctions started an average of 5,000 Iraqi children
ages 5 or under have died each month.
The US juiced the Kurds up and told them that they would be
supported with tanks if they rebelled. When they did it wasn't the
right timing for Bush Snr and the backup never came. Saddam
gassed them. Giving Bush a nice sound-bite to use when the time
was right.
The death toll in Iraqi over the last 10 years is incalculable. It's
just so staggeringly huge. I heavily doubt that more people died
in Japan as a result of the H-bombs. These are deaths resulting
directly from US policy and positioning. You can say it's Saddam's
fault and you'll be correct. However it's also Bush's (Snr & Jnr)
actions and responsibilities.
If they do the wrong thing now and don't clean up the mess then
the amount of people that have died so far will be a drop in the
ocean. The place will really explode into chaos. The death toll
both in America and Iraq at that stage will become quite large
indeed.
How many died in WTC again?
Headless.... Try not to bite on this.... I think you can see I'm not
being irrational about this. I don't take sides easy, I sit in the
middle and see what the facts really are. Then I still don't take
sides. Who am I to say what is right/wrong or better/worse.
