It seems that the group preaching about the "sanctity of life" have little concern for the 125,000 (pentagon estimate) to 1.2 million (UN estimate) innocent Iraqis killed.

vpsinbad50- in case you missed it, Iraq had nothing to do with 9/11. They DID NOT attack us first. The ones who attacked us were Pakistani, Egyptian, and Saudi.

The numbers I gave were the estimates for collateral damage by coalition troops.

Iraq had nothing to do with September 11th , 2001. ( that was for vspinbad ). You are going to look long and hard for much concern about Iraqis killed by US created collateral damage. If we bomb them, kill families at checkpoints in their cars, or break in and murder families in their homes, most of these people are tacitly OK with this . They will tell you how much better it is we are killing them instead of the brutal , brutal Saddam. In spite of how many thousands die, we are painting schools, handing out chewing gum and helping them get rid of all that messy oil. Besides, if you don't agree with Bush and his PNAC/Neocon fantasies, the terrorists will have won.
We may as well move to France.( actually this sounds kind of atttractive ).

We got into this war with iraq due to wrong information given to the american public who at the time were emotionally sensitive after 9/11 and wanted someone to pay. So when the american public was told the iraq had W.O.M.D.'s and where a threat to the sercurity of the american way, most of us wanted iraq's and their presidents(who we(us) put into power) head on a platter. Not thinking with our heads but with our hearts, so now we are in a war that is not going to be easy to just walk away from, the politicians can't seem to have the answer, how about you?

The neocons do not value the life of anyone except the rich.
By the way, America hasn't yet been attacked.
The propoganda about an attack was created by the neocons who were the ones who planned and executed the attack.
Nevertheless, a very valid question

Here's a simple question about your pretty little numbers (and one you don't like to hear...and of course it is still Bush's fault in your narrow mind). WHO KILLED THEM? Those numbers are not results of American military action, bombs, etc. They are the people killed by their own "countrymen" on a daily basis. Get your act together and be angry at the right people!!! The ONLY reason they were not killing each other at such a rate before is because Saddam was killing them by the thousands himself.
P.S. It was Al-Queda that attacked on 9/11, not the countries you listed above. No "nation" attacked us. Another false statement on your part.

Yes, but there's no perfect war. There's ALWAYS collateral damage. It's been greatly minimized by more accurate (laser guided) weapons.

What a generalized and loaded question. AS AN AMERICAN I VALUE AMERICAN LIFE OVER ANY OTHERS.

Amen, brother. They also have little concern for the sanctity of life of the thousands they torture.

LETS SEE ,, WHO ATTACK WHOM FIRST ? GO TO NEW YORK AND SEE GROUND ZERO AND FEEL THE 3000 SOULS CRYING OUT , GOT TO SHANKSVILLE AND LOOK AT THE SPOT WHERE TERRORISTS HIGH JACKED A PLANE FULL OF REGULAR FOLKS , ONLY TO FIGHT BACK TO KEEP OTHERS FROM DYING . CHECK OUT THE PENTAGON AND SEE THE PLAQUE HONORING THE INNOCENT PASSENGERS AND ATTENDANTS WHO WERE ONLY DOING THEIR JOBS TO GET THE PEOPLE TO WHERE THEY WANT TO GO AND THE SECRETARIES AND STAFF ON THE GROUND JUST DOING A DAYS WORK ALL MURDERED BY TERRORISTS . SURE THE AMERICANS FIGHT BACK , TO HONOR THE LIVES TAKEN BY THESES DEMONS OF ALA , IN MY OPINION , KILL THEM ALL AND LET THEIR GOD SORT THEM OUT ... TOO HARSH , TOO BAD 111 GO OVER THERE AND LIVE AND STAY OFF OUR WELFARE LINE !
