I still got some crap left...

Okay, I'm glad you stand by your numbers. I'll stand by mine.

Good. I showed you my documentation, and its source. You want to show me yours? Even the anti-war sites count less than 10,000 civilians. Where the heck you get up to 30,000 is beyond me.

I find it quite interesting Tom, that you sit in your rich, fat, safe and educated environment crowing the goodness of other people in other lands dying for your principles. Thats quite a luxury. That others can die by the droves so that you can 'hold your head up'. I frankly don't count the pitch-and-yaw of your head as worth the cost.

If you are referring to American soldiers dying, they have been doing so for many decades so that people like my family and me can sit in a rich, safe, and educated environment. And I never stop being grateful for it. I take my kids to the military cemetery up north for Memorial Day*, and tried to make sure they understood where they were, and what happened there, when we stood on Omaha Beach last summer.

There are more than a few Iraqis who appreciate them too.

If you are referring to Iraqis dying, how many exactly have died as a direct result of our military actions since the bombing stopped on May 1st? As yet, I seem to be unable to find numbers on this, and would appreciate it if anyone else finds any. I bet it's less than 140 a day.

In a few years, everyone will see if it's worth it or not.

*Real kudos to whoever puts up those flags every year.
