>>> No morality in leaving Iraqis in the Republic of Fear<<<

I can think of no greater fear than the fear of having your family members, friends and neighbors slaughtered, disfigured and disembowled by an American Shock and Awe bombing campaign, and the aftermath death and destruction which will follow from ground force engagement, especially when and if the US decides to enter Baghdad.

Ths fear will spread beyond the borders of Iraq. And this fear will evolve into hatred. And that hatred will grow far and wide and manifest itself in ways Bush simply doesn't understand.

America is no "liberator" here. Contrary to the mindsink Bush would like you to consider, no one has asked to be "liberated." And no one has asked to have their family, friends and neighbors killed in vast numbers.

My dear ChrisJP, you underestimate the power of your propensity for propaganda.

You took

The total includes some 100,000 expected to be injured as a direct result of combat and a further 400,000 wounded as an indirect result of the devastation, according to estimates prepared by the World Health Organization, the document said.

And translated it to

US Coalition forces would inflict 50,000 casualties on Iraqi troops.

Saddams troops and his other dirty tricks would cause the remaining 450,000 deaths


Show that translation to your doctor. He/She should easily double your dosage of Prozac.

Congratulations for finding the Scotsman article. Now find its author. I doubt he/she goes by the name "COMMENT".
