What WMD's in Iraq? Are you stretching the definition of that term? Were Saddam's weapons an imminent threat to the USA?

And are not the Iraqi's mostly brown? Am I watching the wrong war on TV? Is their death toll not something like ten times that of the US? Did we not invade them knowing for certain that we would kill thousands of civilians?

And speaking of non-white people, the US military has become more and more non-white. Read the names of the dead, and this becomes evident. Furthermore, imo it is more a class issue than a race issue. The Americans dying in Iraq are mostly enlisted. Most of them, irregardless of race, joined the military for economic reasons - college $, a job, etc. We are sending the sons and daughters of the poor Americans to die for the purpose of making rich Americans richer.
