I wonder how the 1300-1500 badly burned and mutilated beneficiary's of Operation Iraqi Freedom over the last three weeks compares to the number of badly burned and mutilated beneficiary's of an average three-week period under Saddam. What is 500,000 divided by 520 weeks? Oh yeah, that's about 1000/week isn't it? hmmmm. Perspective, folks. Perspective. -g

It will be a while before we can tot up the results, really they will only be guesses, since all sides will be lying to us about past present and future activities .... there may or may not be a net reduction in mutilation, eventually .... i think there would have been a far greater chance at net reduction with a true coalition of that 'reasonable quorum of democracies', rather than a single nation invading, with Blair in tow .... the evil of the iraqui regime was clear to all, the net evil resulting from one group in DC dominating the planet remains to be seen ... there is plenty of regime change to do in this world, Washington gets lots of press coverage so it should maybe come high on the list, pour encourager les autres I wonder what i would do, in the position of some iraqui in a comparable situation, outside an outlying town ... here come foreign troops rolling tanks over the holy land of our fathers, it is rumoured they have no respect for our gods, and look, there they are pointing guns at my brothers - what shall i do .... how important is it that i never liked the federal Liberals, that the image of Trudeau's salute remains vivid .... come down to it, Chrétien is of my tribe, and the occupiers are not, and here the thought recurs, at an hundred metres i can nine of ten times put a thirty ought six round through a soup tin Rumour is, Billy Graham's son is about to go over there on a thumping project .... no kidding Of all SIers this poster consistently makes the most sense on such topics, imho - Message 18846095
