Sure. And America will recover from this as it did from vietnam. But it's going to be a lot of work.

No comprende.
I did not say who killed how many - because I don't know it - the research on that will probably begin after the hostilities - but for me every human live in Iraq counts as much as every american one on 9/11.
What I'm saying is a lot of people will open their eyes when they see the numbers and compare them to the event that actually caused it, i.e. 9/11. |
So you think 9-11 caused the Iraq war? Not 12 years of violated cease fire agreements, not Saddams own declarations that he had wmd and intended to use it, not correcting the wrong done to the Shiites and Kurds when we encouraged them to to revolt against Saddam in '91 and subsequently abandoned them?
You can play the blame America game all you want but you cannot ignore the fact that the great majority of violent Iraqi deaths before AND during this war have been at the hands of other Iraqis.
