Nobody is going to feel good about the deaths of 9,000 Iraqi civilians just because this number is lower than the victims of the firebombing of Dresden.


Nobody, I hope, ever feels good about a single civilian death. But innocent people die. In wars, and otherwise.

If you want another comparison, being a civilian in Iraq during the war was safer than driving on the US roads. about 40,000 people are killed by drunk drivers on US highways each year.

I think it shows a weird sense of priorities when liberals show more concern over 9,000 innocent dead in Iraw than they do over 40,000 innocent dead here at home.
