1. What Ive wanted to know since 9/11 is how many dead is enough
to satisfy the revenge some of these people want.

so roughly 3000 people were killed on 9/11, for arguments Ill call it 3000 americans.

some estimates put the dead from afghanistan and iraq in the neighborhood of 150,000 so thats 50 dead for each. is it enough yet? is 100 enough? 1000?

I wish one of these bastards would tell us so we know when they will be satiated so it can end.

3. I think the deities must be working on a super-special additon to the
place of punishment, all for the current occupant and his whole lying, thieving, murderous, greedy bunch of thugs. either that, or their kharmic debts are going to take MANY lifetimes to overcome.

4. US invasion responsible deaths of over 250,000 civilians in Iraq...

U.S. invasion responsible deaths of over 250,000 civilians in Iraq
Original address http://www.agoracosmopolitan.com/home/Iraq_war.php
by John Stokes
New studies make the Bush administration's "liberation" argument for a 'pre-emptive' war against Iraq seem questionable.

The invasion of Iraq in March 2003 by U.S.-led coalition forces has been responsible for the death of at least 150,000 civilians (not including
The majority of these deaths, which are in addition those normally expected from natural causes, illness and accidents, have been among women and children, documents a well-researched study, that had been released by The Lancet Medical Journal.

The report in the British journal is based on the work of teams from the Johns Hopkins University and Columbia University in the U.S., and the Al-Mustansiriya University in Baghdad.


The figure of 100,000 had been based on somewhat "conservative assumptions", notes Les Roberts at Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, Baltimore, U.S., who led the study.

That estimate excludes Falluja, a hotspot for violence. If the data from this town is included, the compiled studies point to about 250,000 excess deaths since the outbreak of the U.S.-led war.

10. Yea, but those are brown people, so therefore they really aren't people
It makes perfect sense when you think about it like that.

5. That 2313 is only counting the US troops who die on the ground in Iraq.
It doesn't count those who die in transit to the hospital in Germany or in the hospital. He's already way over the number for Americans and that doesn't count the innocent Iraqi civilians. This guy is a butcher and should be dragged with his cronies to the Hague and die like Milosovic!

9. I didn't want to include
Katrina since he didn't "cause" the Hurricane and it would be hard to estimate how many deaths his inaction caused. And I wanted to only count Americans not Iraqis, since that's all this country seems to care about.
