I thought about releasing a torrent of rage against you for that asinine statement that would take this thread into flame for several pages... I am still furious that you could casually say such a thing, but I am going to give you a chance to think about it.
Just answer one question: Are we, or are we not, morally responsible for the deaths of Iraqi citizens killed as a result of this war? The ones that died from our munitions, the ones that died from the lawlessnes that resulted, the ones tortured and killed by the insurgents, the ones blown up by the suicide bombs...
YES OR NO?
Answer it directly without appeals to an alternate universe, its a simple question. The answer will tell us much about just how much you have changed in a few years.
