Actually, it appears that the number of Iraqi's
intentionally raped, tortured & slaughtered by the Butcher
of Baghdad is at least 1,000 times the number of
unintentional civilian casualties by Coalition forces.

After your recent horrific post to me & today's reply, I
thought I'd bring to your attention the exponential
difference since it seems that only those unintentionally
harmed by Coalition forces seem to matter to you.

I grieve for all of those harmed, but knowing that the
intentional harm by the Butcher of Baghdad is over, I have
some sense of relief. It is over & far more people have
been spared than harmed. Thousands of children have been
released from prisons and horrible conditions for alleged
political crimes. The rapes have ended. The torture is
gone. No more mass executions.

I realize that in war civilians will be harmed. And since
Saddam made damn sure that he put civilians in harms way,
I'm amazed at how low the totals were. No doubt Iraqi
forces are directly responsible for a large number of their
own civilian casualties.

You can call me names, curse my name & denigrate me any way
you wish. I know exactly what your POV was prior to the
war. I know it didn't change even when many of your
predictions & alleged concerns turned out to be baseless.
And even when the civilian casualties were incredibly low
in the face of Saddam's attempt to maximize their suffering
you remained steadfast in your contempt while ignoring
Saddam's horrors. As reports detailing decades of horrific
suffering being exposed, you still seem only concerned with
the scant few unintentional casualties by Coalition forces.

Why are they the only people worthy of your concern? What
of the countless hundreds of thousands raped, tortured &
slaughtered by Saddam? What about the 24 million Iraqi's no
longer under threat of unspeakable horrors?

Are they not worthy?

Or is this more about your politics than genuine concern?
