Are the 655,000 dead iraqies free now since the war started?

Question

What a price to pay for no weapons of mass destruction.

Answer 1

I agree that it's a horrendous price to pay. It's turned out to be an unacceptable price for most Americans too--even the ones who really voted for Bush. It seems they all figured war was okay as long as it only took--what? A couple of weeks? Months?
Americans have this idea that they are supposed to police the world, so anything they do in the name of "freedom & democracy" is okay. It's kind of a Christian thing, yanno? Notice how so much of this society in the US is SO critical of those naughty awful Muslims and their violence--and they all regard the solution to be further killings. What's wrong with this picture?

Answer 2

You need to substantiate that grossly inflated figure with some source attribution. It is one thing to state deaths are unjust, it is another to fabricate them.

An honest appraisal of events can only come from an honest acknowledgment of the real facts involved. Until you can come up with either correct numbers or some sort of breakdown for the casualties you claim the Iraqis have suffered, you lack all credibility.

Answer 3

I think that people forget the enemy is human also. These Iraqi, many of them old men, woman and children have blood, flesh and bone as we do. It is a shame, they shame of America that we brought war to these people based on a lie from a corrupt and criminal president. He should have to pay for every one of those live, as well as the 2751 American lives that have been lost do to this war that was based on his lies. He is the worst mass murderer in history.

Answer 4

What about 4 million dead from the Iraq - Iran War in the 80s.

Answer 5

I suggest you read beyond the headlines.....
That number is not based on any actual body counts. Most consider it to be a wild estimation. By conparsion, the 2004 tsunami in the Indian Ocean killed 225,000 (est.). So I HIGHLY doubt a number like 655,000.

Answer 6

Most Americans now believe the war was a mistake. i saw recent world poll and people believe America is more dangerous than Iran. bush is losing the war on terror. time for a change as recent polls suggest. love those poll numbers mr. president.

The Iraq Survey Group, apart from a few stockpiles, did not find the large quantities of weapons that the regime was believed to possess.

On December 14, 2005, while discussing the WMD issue, Bush stated that "It is true that much of the intelligence turned out to be wrong."


National Intelligence Estimate (a consensus report of the heads of 16 U.S. intelligence agencies) asserted that the Iraq war had increased Islamic radicalism and worsened the terror threat.

Answer 7

Watch it, Studly, you will bring down the wrath of all the war defenders! Its amazing how folks can rationalize all the death and destruction and say--"well, it was worse in this or that war", or "we kill more people in cars in the US all the time" or "you're hurting troop morale." Of course some people dismiss the deaths of others as collateral damage. Like the song asks, "when will we will ever learn"?

Answer 8

Hey! You bought into the Iraqi propoganda, which has been completely and utterly disproven by even the commie-sympathizing, tree hugging, Genocide in Darfur onlooker, the United (against America) Nations!

Yes, that completely corrupt and anti american bloated farce of a bureaucracy has even proven that nonsense to be a fabrication!

What a poor, plodding person you are not to know this.

Answer 9

Seems as though the terrorists have been busy, doesn't it? Where the insurgents were not killing innocent people,the Sunnis and Shiites were killing each other.We need to join together and rid the world of these terrorists.

Answer 10

The war in Iraq was a bad move on the part of the US. I think most folks would agree on that. However, the number of deaths among civilians is a direct result of the way that the people who are fighting American troops have chosen to conduct the war.
