When the Lancet did their study of how many people had died in Iraq, they didn't even include Falluja because so many people had died there, it skewed their study. Can you imagine what the totals are now?

Whether the people dead are civilians or Iraqis, they are the people who live in the region, and they are not invaders- we are the invaders, and we will be blamed. If the benefit were so great, as to justify the slaughter, perhaps you could make a case (but, imo, it would still be hard to do in the face of international law). The benefits, though, are iffy, and getting iffier by the month. I don't know how anyone can look at this war and still think it was a good idea. It amazes me.
