If that is an absolute standard in your opinion than I suppose you think our participation in WWII was very evil.

Why compare an apple to orange?


Because you where implying that waging war is automatically a bad thing if 30K or more people are killed. Obviously WWII was different in many ways. A much bigger and more destructive war, but also a war where the justification for America's participation is almost beyond dispute.

WW II fit the parameters under which I believe a war should be fought. Iraq does not.

Than your problem is with the parameters, not the 30k?

I am assuming you believe that Iraq is democratic now. That's roughly 23 million people. What makes up the remaining 27 million?

Close to 25 million each in Iraq and Afghanistan.
