Sorry to say this but Bush. I saw on The McLaughlin Group about a week ago that Iraqi deaths are up to 129,000. Considering Bush had no viable reason to invade Iraq, any logical person would have to conclude that those ppl's blood is on his hands.

Kind of amazes me that approximately 150,000 Kurds were killed by Saddam and that ppl make that an issue considering almost that many have now died.

Seriously, how could anyone not conclude this?
No Iraqi invasion = no civil war + no collateral deaths + all other related deaths to the mess that has been made = 129,000 Iraqi deaths as a direct result from the invasion.

The Iraqi people are some tough people, like lots of third world people. Of course George W. Bush is responsible for this mess because he invaded Iraq and broke it into at least a dozen pieces. Know the United States is stuck with the problem which has no easy solution except the one that seems to be one that the Iraqi's would like. Separate the Shite, Sunni and Kurdish people and also create a UN controlled Federal Government responsible for dividing up the oil revenue and sharing it between populations.
One of the main reason it has to be a Federal Arrangement is that the Turkey Government will invade Kurdistan if it becomes independent. The fact is that the Shiite's may be just to hard the deal with so maybe a situation with the Kurds and the Sunni sharing oil profit that goes North through Turkey.
Something along these lines.

If we had let Sadam go any further then we would have major problems right now. There would be several Muslim countries with WMDs. So conveniently you forget and twist the facts. It is the Muslim belief and way of life that is the problem with the world today. They choose to use modern tools for destructive purposes.

Oh, but it (the killing) cannot be separated from the general atmosphere of lawlessness. After over 25 years of utter tyranny, the Iraqi people have come to associate any kind of governance with tyranny. They have so many grudges and distrust of government of any kind that they cannot now manage peace among themselves. There are many scores to settle; enormous experience of grossest injustice. Theirs is an endless spiral of violence. It will last for years. There's no way to stop it now. Each is (perhaps) responsible for his own killings before God, but sociologically, it is hard to produce so much murderousness. Murderousness breeds murderousness as peace breeds peace.

That's ALMOST as bad as US traffic deaths @ 3568 /mo (2002 NHTSA figures)!
The US should not have gone into Iraq, and just let Saddam continue his genocides of the month. 100,000 Kurds here and there, any one who crossed him, individual murders for sport on a boring evening.
Him and the Insurgents seem to have better press agents, than the US, who has been trying to accomplish something positive, imperfectly, and without assistance from other countries who would have eventually benefited from the stability of the region.

No intention to minimize the suffering, but it rates perspective.

This is an easy one. Who is responsible? Who is doing the actual killing? If you kill one person, YOU are responsible, not the bomb, not the bullet, not the president in another country... YOU are responsible. Period. It's that simple. We have gangs here in LA that kill hundreds of people every year. Who's responsib;e for those deaths? Bush? The Mayor of LA? Social programs? Bad parents? Sure they can contribute to a life run afoul of the law, but the person responsible is the person who pulled the gun and shot. Put the blame where it belongs. Bush is the president, I didn't kill anyone, neither should anyone else, here or in Iraq.

I hope the number of Iraqi casualties is exaggerated.
most Iraqis are killed by Their fellow countrymen, some are killed by non Iraqi Muslim terrorist who penetrated Iraq from Syria.
I think the US is to blame for some of these deaths, mainly because their policy in Iraq failed to prevent exactly this situation.
however, fundamentalist Muslim groups, supporters of the old Iraqi regime, "friendly" neighbors should take a major part of the blame, but all these seem to enjoy the large quantity of casualties

AMERICA is responsible for many of the death and carnage and destruction going on over there right now. It shouldn't even be denied. Most Americans feel that some collateral damage (brown babies, pregnant women and elderly people) are worth 'winning the war against terror'. They just don't see the irony, or they choose not to. Doesn't matter, because our government will continue to kill, oh sorry, 'defend itself from terrorirsts' until they or us is totally destroyed.

Wow! where did you get that figure - Mother Jones? Al Jazeerah?You realize of course, that even with your inflated number, that's still significantly fewer deaths than under Saddam's rule? I really recommend that you branch out to other sources of information before you go public with your opinions.
