No double standard at all. First of all hundreds of thousands or millions doesn't imply at least in the area of 900,000. Yes it does.......and had I said it, you would have pointed it out. Secondly what Joe said was literally true. Do you mean D. Ray? If so, its not literally true. Third the actually deaths caused by Saddam probably are in the high hundreds of thousands. Less than 500k. Forth what you said was not an exaggeration of truth it was directly untrue. Milosevic didn't present a significant threat to any place outside the Balkans. You tell that to Italy, Macedonia and Greece. If he was a significant threat to a big chunk of Europe then saying he was a significant threat to "all of Europe" would just be an exaggeration but Molosevic did not pose such a threat. If so, why did the European nations sanction NATO to address the problem over the objections of Russia? Finally even if I was wrong about the above (and I am not) it would not be a case of applying two standards but rather of being mistaken about the facts. The double standard is that you criticized me for exaggerating because you don't agree with my argument but you ignored D. Ray's because you do agree with his statement. You're more than entitled to do that but you will have less credibility with me........understandably. ted
