The authors of "The Human Cost of the War in Iraq", citing a death rate (5.5/1000 per year) before the Coalition invasion and comparing it to the post-invasion death rate (13.2/1000 per year) has determined that the war is responsible for 655,000 deaths in Iraq. Given that the survey of more than 1800 households randomly selected in clusters that represent Iraq's population AND is a standard tool in epidemiology used by the US Government and many other agencies, how can one question the methodology of this peer-reviewed paper in an eminent journal?

President Bush said ""I don't consider it a credible report...The methodology is pretty well discredited."

Considering he has ZERO science background, I wonder how he came to that conclusion. Specifically, what methodology does he have issues with?

hatred? Are you embarrased for them? Do you wish they'd shut up? or Do you agree with their hatred and nonsense and still claim you're respectable?

Do all the Republicans whose lives are devoted to YA really think the world is a better place now than before your twit became the "leader of the free world"?

when in human history has killing off all of the enemy ever worked?

It makes no sense.

We will never kill every terrorist. For every terrorist we kill, more will be training , to avenge for the deaths of the previous terrorists. Its a never ending.

any thoughts?

i thought homeland security was supposed to be made aware of any planes reaching a low altitude so that jets could be scrambled to help down or shoot down, the plane is low, hits the building, and then the jets are scrambled and flying around? guess we are still not safe. what if it would have been another attack? we are not safe, and I don't beleive the hype from the puppet master (bush) that we are.

Does a person have right to say no to DNA testing on their child if a judge orders it because someone is claiming that child is theirs and you say it's not? Especially if that person is not your spouse but only an ex boyfriend. Isn't that also considered invasion of your privacy?

a working class audience with a dumbed-down line-up, (don't get me wrong, I'm an American, and much of the irreverent comedy is my style) then brainwash them wish biased news reporting. It worked in my mid-sized, working class hometown.The hard-rock morning show host that happened-to-be a conservative republican convinced a whole lot of working class people that they were somehow republicans as well....
Before anyone starts throwing slurs at me, I'm not making any social comments about the working class. It happens to be my own background.

World war involves multiple nations

The cold war involved two nations - Canada and the UK etc were not all that involved - not a world war .

9/11 was One terror group attacking one nation Not a world war

7/7 Same story not a world war . If it counts then the IRA counts and so does the FLQ etc

Well obviously they are, you see the party, the radical left-wing extremists will do anything to gain CONTROL of America, and the radical extremists such as the islamofascists are hoping so as well. They view a democrat led America to be an easier target.

Seriously, you agree, the Dems are soft on terror, wishy washy, flip flop. One day it is you should do multi-lateral talks then the next it is bi-lateral and the next it is secret talks. What do the Dems want?

Besides CONTROLLING America. When anyone wants something this badly, to do all of the dirty things they have done, well I just don't trust them to do the right thing.

BTW, for all of you bush bashers, I'm not a repub, just hate socialists and communists.
