a) during the time Bill Clinton was in power (1993 - 2001), 1,000,000 people died in Iraq during UN sanctions. That's 125,000 per year.
b) during the present war in Iraq (2003 - present day), 100,000 people have died. That's about 25,000 per year or about 80% less than before.
Why do you guys insist on claiming that Bush is killing people in Iraq when he is obviously saving lives?

I'm no liberal, but from what I have seen, liberals hate Bush so much that they will use any form of stupidity to blame Bush for everything. I always hear "9/11 was Bush's fault" and all sorts of conspiracy theory garbage from liberal nuts who need an excuse to blame Bush. If tomorrow a large asteroid crashes into earth and kills us all, the liberals will be blaming Bush as well because it was his fault that the asteroid decided to crash into us. Many have claimed that liberalism is a form of mental disorder, or should I say psychosis, because one has to be completely psychotic to blame the president for every single thing that happens, even if there are valid scientific explanations for it.

As my conservative buddy, Bill O'Reilly, often says, "You cannot justify bad behavior by bloviating about worse behavior."
That's not an exact quote, but it's a point to ponder.
My position is that too many Iraqis and too many Americans have died in Iraq.
I'm not going to waste any of my energy blaming either President for the Iraq madness. We can blame a few battalions of politicians for our present problem.
We need to focus our attention on the current situation in Iraq and ponder constructive measures which will bring this debacle to a satisfactory end.
The only solution that makes sense to me at the present time is to apply a Yugoslavian solution to it.
I think that we need to divide Iraq into three separate nation states consisting of Kurds, Sunnies and Shias.
A central government could maintain some power to regulate the actions of these states and equitably distribute revenues sources.
The American troops should pull back to neutral positions outside the urban areas and engage in combat only in dire situations. Their main function would be to train and support the Iraqi army.
Hey, I offered a solution that has some chance of working. I suggest that you direct your energies to devising or supporting a constructive methodology for releasing the Americans from this Iraqi burden.

How many US citizens and other non-Iraqi citizens died in Iraq between 1993-2001? That is the big crux of the matter. The US has lost a lot more now than they did then. And many feel that Dubya is just trying to clean up what his Daddy couldn't.
And please site your sources. Conservatives bashing Liberals always seem to leave that little bit of info out.

because (and also you do factor out "all" agencies) those agencies with the help of and massive received't make investments the money from those beneficiant tax cuts (which they have been receiving all alongside) in turning out to be extra jobs; they're going to use them to pay out bonuses and do different frivolous issues with- yet actual not create jobs. we've seen this similar element taking position with the so-called stimulus money, and so the idea of giving them even extra money with the help of tax cuts should not be any diverse. you do not might want to be a bloody liberal to appreciate that, cuz i confident am not! besides, maximum businesses pay no taxes besides, and yet the business equipment nonetheless tanked and is persevering with to attain this for the present. what makes you imagine giving them extra money will outcome in pastime boom? small agencies? possibly. besides the indisputable fact that the large adult males? ignore it. tax cuts under no circumstances trickle right down to those who extremely stimulate the business equipment, and examine to carry close that. what might want to take position is that those mega businesses should be called to pastime on taxes, and the vast majority of the fee of health insurance (if it ever passes) might want to then be paid with gross sales from those taxes.

This is why our government is so messed up. Because there are people like you who would rather pick a fight with a "liberal" than do anything for your world.
Do something instead of just trying to perpetuate the "us" versus "them" nonsense that makes our country ineffective.
Plus, I do believe your numbers are just a tad bit off.
And the person who said that your comparison of death tolls is ridiculous is right. Really think about what you're saying there.

well, in disregard to however many deaths that there were when clinton was in power 100,000 is still a hell of a lot of lives to die for .......well what?
in response to your question i pose you a question:
is it right to compare death counts to each other? even if one person had died it would be just as terrible
p.s i meant no disregard to the people that died in clintons reign, i said what i said because i had to make a point

It's funny but isn't it mostly Arab on Arab killing? It's too bad that we have figures to compare yet no one really wants to blame the real perpetrators... adherents to the religion of peace....

Asking a liberal to debate facts is like asking a bear not to crap in the woods.
