George, 1,000,000 Iraqis have died since 1990.Well 450,000 of those casualties were war casualties killed pursuant to a 1990 United Nations Declaration of War against Iraq and UN Troop invasion of Iraq- who had invaded Kuwait and murdered 200,000 Kuwaitis. (Should I also mention the mass murder of Kurds by Saddam Hussein in northern Iraq???).

For the remaining 550,000 casualties I express sincere regret-but note. They died pursuant to UN (not US but UN)sanctions placed upon Iraq because Saddam Hussein refuses to renounce weapons of mass destruction and allow inspections of his chemical and biological potential facilities.

Saddam like Adolf Hitler does not give a damn about his people and has complete control to end the sanctions at any time.

Now if mass death causes for you moral outrage, then the 2,000,000 Africans killed by the Islamic Fundamentalist regime in Khartoum in the Sudan civil war should really piss you off right?

And let's get real George- The sanctions have nothing to do with the main issue here. The Islamic Fundamentalists hate us because we of the Western democracies stand between them and their dream of world hegemony - no more, no less. And yes- Let it be said that I stand up publicly against fundamentalist Islam- I would not want my descendants to say that I was an apologist for fascist murderers....
