Statistics or no statistics, the painful truth is that the Iraqie population suffered a much greater loss since the US invasion than under Saddam regime. Loss of life is a loss of life, in any remote country it happens, it is still a dead human being.

Now saddam Hussein is going to be hanged, another Hussein for martyrdom.

If they remain quiet under such misconceptions, it is lethargy, the forerunner of death to the public liberty.... And what country can preserve its liberties, if its rulers are not warned from time to time, that this people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to the facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is its natural manure.

You'll notice that the leader of Iraq is being put to death for killing 148 people while the leader of the United States has, by your standard, killed thousands of Iraqis and yet he will not be put on trial. What say you to that?

Eh, that probably won't happen. So what you're saying is you don't see any moral difference between Hussein and Bush?

She can't even see any difference between her head and her ass.

None what so ever. One want to force Allah as the only god, the other one want to force democracy as the only way.

Not much moral difference there is there eh?

Thanks for putting words in my mouth I never spoken or said. Real classy of you. What I am saying is that Bush cannot even grasp mentally the death toll of the Iraqie population as I previously posted. Saddam admitted to those death, no big secret, everyone knew about the kurdish massacre. Bush was presented with an estimation that surpassed his rosie world where he seem convinced that only some 30 000 Iraqie lost their lives ever since the invasion. He was confronted with the truth, the inner working of his brain prevented him to grasp the "real Iraquie death toll"

Beside for trying to put words I never said in my mouth Mazer, answer the question, it all comes down to that right? Is the life of an Iraqie citizen worth less than the one of a US citizen?

Yes, the US soldiers death toll is saddening, so is the Toll of dead Canadian soldiers in Afghanistan but all combined together, they don't even reach 10% of what the Iraqian population suffered ever since the administration decided to "Liberate them"

Franklin had it right when he said those wise words, maybe he forsaw some future glimpse of what was to come.

Any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both.

It was just a question. Sorry if my curiosity offends you.

If these two morally equivalent nations both have ambitions that reach beyond their borders and adventuresome militaries, do you think it matters in the end if one destroys the other?

The way you asked your "question" implied that you already assumed how I was going to reply.

Morally equivalent nation? Are you referring to Iraq and the USA or Christianity and Islam?
