For every Iraqi family mourning the loss of a loved one due to this war and the insurgency, there are about thirty mourning the loss of a loved one due to Saddam's homegrown terrorism and wars of aggression.

That's the current balance. There's a LONG way to go before you can objectively say we, or Iraq's current government, have done worse things to Iraq than Saddam did.

In the liberation of Japan and Germany in WWII, we erased entire cities. The B-52 bombings of Vietnam are infamous. The current conflict is, by comparison, probably the most civilized war in human history. I have real perspective. Do you?

To listen to the liberals here, you'd think we'd invaded Switzerland, and pulled a little old clockmaker out of that spider hole.
