I certainly doubt that the civilian casualty figure was that high given that Americans, unlike the terrorists in the Middle East, targeted military sites. However, it is unfortunate that there are always civilian casualties. Too bad their government started that war. (Why no silence for the Kuwaiti victims of Saddam?)

Ummm...are you trying to blame the US for Iraq's actions? Blame Saddam for Saddam's actions.

Again, as the old expression goes, guns don't kill people. People kill people. And that tends to happen in war.

As I recall my history, the Japanese started that war. Those bombs actually cost fewer lives than an invasion of hte mainland. You should read up on Japanese atrocities.

The wrong side won that war. Communism is not fun to live under.

Where do you get these statistics? Al Jazeera or the Daily Worker? How about the lives that Noriega's drug trafficing cost?

They shouldn't have sheltered terrorists.

Iraq can get the UN embargo lifted easily. In fact, they can sell oil for medicine and food. What is Saddam doing with that money?
Every other country trades with Cuba. Cuba doesn't need to trade with the US. Its economy is failing because the system is broken.

You're blaming the US for all that? Blame the Palestinians for using their own children as weapons.

The US sends a lot of money and support overseas to ungrateful third world countries actually.
