The death toll is even higher if you include all the Iraqi people who were killed as well. It is a disgusting and unjust war. Bush and Cheney must
really be insane if they think this war is doing any good at all. Any idiot can see that the "war" in iraq is unnecasary, unwanted. Apparently Bush
and Cheney arent just any idiot.
While that may be true, concerning the death's of the Iraqi people... I would caution you in your use of verbage, claiming "Any Idiot can see" will
directly summon people who take contention with your viewpoint, which will in end make the discussion more about your political views and less about
Bush as a whole.
I don't think anyone would argue that the Iraq war is a good thing, or is doing good for either this country or the world... but I do know there are
some misguided folks who feel we are setting an example in the middle east. I feel that they are not privvy to the history of American involvement in
Iran Contra, Afghanistan, and other toy-nations of ours.
Nor, do I feel, are they aware how things are likely to shape up when we leave Iraq. The peace and democracy they are wanting to flourish won't look
anything like what they think it should.
