Blair referred to deaths from Iraq's conflicts under Saddam Hussein, including the 1980-88 Iran-Iraq war and bloody crackdowns on Iraq's minorities. He said those deaths outnumbered the protesters in London's streets. "If 500,000 people are on the march, that is less than the number of deaths Saddam is responsible for. If one million people are on the march, that is still less than the number of people who died in wars that he started," he added to applause. There were no protesters when America helped to defend Muslims from the Serb murderer Milosevic. IMO this is just more evidence that many in the western world are still racist. What these people are saying with their demonstration is, "war is O.K. if they are liberating Europeans, but Arabs are not worth the effort". IMO, Arabs should apply their unique logic to this matter. IC
