4. We have taken a country, that was no danger to us and have turned it into
a breeding ground for terrorists, especially if we end the occupation and get out. Staying in Iraq at $1 billion per week, and 1 American life a day, is costing us the money that could be otherwise spent on alleviating the suffering of our own poor, sick and disabled. It is stealing our children's future. It has cost us the goodwill of the world. It has stolen our nation's integrity and honesty.

We are trading the lives of hundreds of America's fine young people for 52 Iraqui despots and trading our nation's wealth for oil, oil, oil.

5. have you seen the (outdated) visual argumentation aid?
--snip
Many conservatives and supporters of the Iraq War --the mass of Americans who shrug off civilian deaths when they are not American civilian deaths--obviously have a pronounced problem with visualizing numbers and applying moral standards.

In other words, they are stupid and evil.

Therefore, the need for a visual aid for the numerically and morally challenged.

At the time this page was created the numbers were the low casualty estimates. Please allow a long time for this page to load. Remember, this is just a tally of those killed, and does not include those injured, maimed, orphaned, widowed and/or left childless.

But first...

8. Sounds like al-Qaida
The UN is one of their devils just like it is to our own fundamentists. The people of Iraq may associate the UN with sanctions but they also associate it with relief. Or it may be pure terror designed for maximum impact.

11. The thing that makes me sick is, we KNEW this was going to
happen! Everybody who opposed the war did so because we knew it would lead to an increase in terrorism. * should NOT get positive ink for this! It's HIS fault. I'm so mad I could spit! :grr:

15. Another thing that pisses me off is the constant referral to anyone
who uses violence against the U.S. or U.N. in Iraq as a "Saddam loyalist". They just can't seem to get it throught their frickin' heads that the Iraqis, loyal to Saddam or not, don't want us there!
The whole country can't be Saddam loyalists, can they?

17. Security??? WHAT SECURITY??
That we did not protect the obvious will not be met with smiles.

We have let down the UN big time.

The fallout will not be pretty.
