"I can't help but think those who believe the war was an obvious thing to do, have no understanding of history, human psychology, sociology, and if they're halfway around the world and not physically involved anyway, are the biggest cowards."

When say the war, you are referring to Iraq, right?
And does this thinking of yours also apply to Afghanistan?

        WHAT BS - R.L. - 3/21/2006 9:41:12 PM
        
        does that annual average include the Iraq-Iran war and the gassing of the Kurds? (n/t) - Tony - 3/21/2006 7:37:02 PM
        
        Nice try, but I can see the boilerplate response a mile away. (n/t) - Tom Brosz - 3/21/2006 8:22:19 PM
        
        Unless he's invading Iran or committing another attempted genocide, those average numbers are just plain bogus. (n/t) - Tony - 3/21/2006 9:38:14 PM
