The killings are more between the irakis and shows the unity problem of this nation (sunnites, shiites, Kurds). This is not a situation created by the USA. The responsibility of the USA, is to have put an end to the dictatoship.
This reminds me that, the idea of the Irak, as a country, was from Churchill. I go as far as to think that he knew what he was doing: by "joining" several different people which are profoundly divided he weakened the country. And this was of the interest of Great Britain, probably for o "fuel reason".
I dont think that the US troops are - and will ever be - a "gang of murderers".

VERY INTERESTING-
1. The Garden of Eden was in Iraq
2. Mesopotamia, which is now Iraq, was the cradle of civilization!
3. Noah built the ark in Iraq
4. The Tower of Babel was in Iraq
5. Abraham was from Ur, which is in Southern Iraq !
6. Isaac's wife Rebekah is from Nahor, which is in Iraq !
7. Jacob met Rachel in Iraq
8. Jonah preached in Nineveh - which is in Iraq
9. Assyria, which is in Iraq, conquered the ten tribes of Israel
10. Amos cried out in Iraq !
11. Babylon, which is in Iraq, destroyed Jerusalem .
12. Daniel was in the lion's den in Iraq !
13. The three Hebrew children were in the fire in Iraq (Jesus had been in Iraq also as the fourth person in the Fiery furnace!)
14. Belshazzar, the King of Babylon saw the "writing on the wall" in Iraq .
15. Nebuchadnezzar, King of Babylon, carried the Jews captive into Iraq
16. Ezekiel preached in Iraq .
17. The wise men were from Iraq
18. Peter preached in Iraq
19. The "Empire of Man" described in Revelation is called Babylon, which was a city in Iraq !
And you have probably seen this one. Israel is the nation most often mentioned in the Bible. But do you know which nation is second? It is Iraq ! However, that is not the name that is used in the Bible The names used in the Bible are Babylon , Land of Shinar , and Mesopotamia . The word Mesopotamia means between the two rivers , more exactly between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers The name Iraq , means country with deep roots.
Indeed Iraq is a country with deep roots and is a very significant country in the Bible.
No other nation, except Israel , has more history and prophecy associated it than Iraq .
And also, This is something to think about! Since America is typically represented by an eagle. Saddam should have read up on his Muslim passages...
The following verse is from the Koran, (the Islamic Bible)
Koran ( 9:11 ) - For it is written that a son of Arabia would awaken a fearsome Eagle. The wrath of the Eagle would be felt throughout the lands of Allah and lo, while some of the people trembled in despair still more rejoiced; for the wrath of the Eagle cleansed the lands of Allah; and there was peace.
(Note the verse number!) Hmmmmmmm?!

That's really funny considering that half of those people died by the hands of their own people. The american soldiers can't fire unless they get the okay from their commander. American soldiers have died as well, and the number is steadily climbing every hour. Our military is not over there to kill Iraqi civilians, they are there to keep the peace among the fight that was already in progress before they arrived. You need to understand that our military is not for this war in Iraq, they are simply following orders. They signed up to rid the world of terrorists, and Bush used them for his own gain. Don't try to understand this because most of us americans are confused as well. None of us wants to see either side have to suffer, but unfortunately that's what happens when you have men in power who go insane.

seriously why are you arguing about the numbers? Does 200 000 really has a big difference from 600 000 ? As long as you kill such many civilians in such a short time, you are murderers. Keep pissing the rest of the world off and a day will come when none of us will tolerate you, you won't want to try, really.

I wish I could understand why you would think that Americans and Americans only are doing all the killing? Hmmm....I wonder about what the 2500 colleauges of mine that have given their lives would have to say about your blatant uneducated stupidity.
If your so upset by it ask your buddies in the terrorists groups driving car bombs into the center of civic activities, To please stop. Oh, wait, they won't because their cause is sensless, immorral and illogical.Now, who is the gang of murderers?

You know, I get mad at my fellow Americans when they paint all Arabs or Muslims with the same brush, so I guess it's only fair if I get mad at you for painting all Americans with the same brush.
Shame on you. We aren't all happy-go-lucky warmongers. Every time they report a new US casualty on the news my heart aches because I know that for one of our people killed in action, there are countless Iraqis, usually innocents, killed as well.
I am not happy that my country is fighting in Iraq. I feel sick to my stomach when I see pictures of the devastation over there, or think about how miserable things must be for the innocent people caught in the cross-fire. But you know what? I CAN'T DO A DAMN THING ABOUT IT. And you know what else? Not all Americans are as you paint us. There are plenty of other people who feel just the way that I do.
If you think that Americans are over here rejoicing about the destruction in Iraq, you have a screw loose somewhere. People who get happy about that sort of thing are sick, I mean seriously disturbed, in the head. And so are you, for trying to make things worse instead of better.
May God, or Allah, depending on what you choose to call Him, if you call on Him at all, have mercy on you and help you see things in a clearer light.

The numbers are right.
Only Americans impregnated with FOX and CNN propaganda don't believe them.
Achievements are great 2300 Americans killed control over 25 sq miles in Baghdad established. 80 % of Iraqis anti-Americans and 70 % anti puppet government.
All the great operations you see on TV are just strikes and then back to save heaven Baghdad. According to American report the threath of terrorism has RISEN NOT FALLEN because of the operation so much for saving innocent Americans from terror.
At 1 billion dollars a week cost most money leaned from China (who just reported record surplus in trade this year 193 billion $ more to loan) and Saudi-Arabia.

Why don't people read the rest of the article? The other number is statistically 2% more died than would have died under Saddam. Also many of those deaths are the result of accidents and old age.

Again go back and read the article. NOWHERE does is say who killed anyone. The people of Iraq have killed each other wholesale for centuries. When we toppled Hussein (the main mass murder of the country) all the little mass murders came out of hiding. Was it better to leave one mass murder in charge and wait for him to move outside his country again? Plus if you read the article it was done my interviewing 2000 people. 655,000 deaths that their was above average of deaths would mean that somewhere in Iraq there are about 39,300 tons of dead bodies that nobody can find?

well i can honestly say that those numbers are wrong. I have been there several times and i can say that the stupid bastards over there are killing innocent people. They aren't killing Americans which dont make sense in combat. You dont have to thank the US for all the death, just thank any terrorist for it.
