Okay, if you want to include the soldiers, giving us a maximum total of about 15,100, then the mass murders only amount to 20 times the total casualty count of the war. Feel better now?

Tell ya what. I'll throw in the entire Iraqi casualty count for Gulf War One, estimated at about 29,500. Add them all up (44,600) and we have the number of Saddam's cold blooded murders at only 6.7 times the overall Iraqi casualty count due to coalition military actions in the past decade.

That work okay for you? Make Saddam sound a little better and America sound a little worse?

We took it on as our "sole responsibility" (after all, according to the Great Leftist Myth, the other 46 nations in on it aren't REAL nations at all) because everyone else told us they preferred Saddam just the way he was and that the United States should go to hell.
