That's 10% of the way to a new Arab Holocaust, with no end in sight.

I read that too. It is hard, but we are making good progress. Good progress for whom? That number is staggering. Bush has no clue what he is doing. He only reads the Cliff Notes from Cheney and Rumsfeld and Rice. There is no end in sight. Our presence is why Iraqis are dying. Your responders are knuckleheads. I fought in Vietnam. It is easy to pound your chest and send others to die for you. The hard part is seeing that the ones you fought with died for nothing.

OMG I had no idea! That's pretty sad. Another little known fact is that this war has cost the American Taxpayer over one Trillion dollars so far. This was on the news a few days ago. Think of all the good that money could have done for world hunger and humanitarian aid. Even for Americans because there are Americans without health care, Americans who are poor, homeless, and don't have enough to eat or who are living from paycheck to paycheck. All those people still displaced from Hurrican Katrina. In the meantime it was North Korea who had the weapons of Mass Destruction-and not Iraq. It's pretty sad that this money was spent killing innocent civilians. Will this put America into a recession?

Yes. But why does an Arab Holocaust has to be 6000000 dead in order to be regarded as such? I think this can be regarded an Arab Holocaust right now. And I would like to add that six hundred thousand is, more or less, the number of Serbs who were butchered in the Jasenovac death camp during WW2.

Wars are sometimes necessary to ensue peace...something that the younger generation can NOT get their minds around. People die in wars. It is a sad but obvious fact. If Americans had not been willing to risk their lives in WW2, we'd all be speaking German, today. Liberals hate this statement, but it is true....Freedom is NOT free.

Arabs love to kill other Arabs. I say let them. Don't blame Bush for every thing. Look at history. They live by the sword, rule by the sword and so they will die by the sword.

I work in the White House and he said he's not going to stop until there are 1,314,786 civilian deaths. His astrologer told him it was his power number. We only have astrology to blame. Oh and GW, we can blame him too.
