Did you see the video of the Iraqi troops firing mortar rounds at women and children today on that Basra bridge?

Saddam is the biggest evil the world has known since Hitler. And you scum are rooting for him.
GFY. I hope you get caught in the crossfire.

The figure of 1 million includes Iraqis (soldiers and civilians) who died in the Gulf War and the Iran/Iraq war.
I'm not sure if it includes Iraqis who died as a result of sanctions.
The rate at which 1 million dead occurred over the time since saddam became leader of Iraq is just over 4/hr.
bush is being much more efficient than saddam was at killing Iraqis.
Considering the war is illegal, bush may also end up killing Americans at a greater rate than saddam killed iraqis.

From Sun Tzu, a classic, fantastic post:
The good thing about being a pacifist is that most people don't feel threatened by you. They may not like what you say, but if you don't believe in extremes you are considered "harmless". Or so I hope. The best thing about the freedom of speech is that everyone can learn from different views. The second best thing is that governments get to see who has violent tendencies and who doesn't.
