How many children did they say back in 2001 were supposed to starve to death in Afghanistan if we went to war there?

Countries that go to war with us end up way better off.

Didn't these "aid workers" say the same about Afghanistan? And do you have to be a commie or a leftist to be an aid worker? Or are only the leftist aid workers the ones with the big mouths?

I respect them working and trying to help out in various God forsaken lands, but they do get carried away with themselves and their missions. There's a time for peace and a time for war.

Many in the NGO community are looking at the example of Afghanistan, where according to Save the Children, there is a $166m shortfall in funding to meet Afghanistan's reconstruction priorities by 2003.

Precious phraseology such as "the NGO community" are a tip off as to the writer's sympathies.

Did the BBC also warn that Allied attacks on Nazi Germany might make the winter tougher on those stuck in concentration camps? Cry me a (bleep)-in' river, Saddam.

Down girl, and get busy.

The Iraqi people could alleviate their suffering by just putting a bullet in the heads of Sadman and his family. They have the choice. And don't give me bull about not having the means. The Iraqi military does. They just must not care that their soldiers are going to get butchered again.

They cry wolf over and over again and expect to be taken seriously.

For what reason I have no idea...

Saddam is a billionaire. He poisoned his own people with chem. weapons. He killed his own son-in-law. He staged fake funerals of babies for the gullible press. It's time to hold the press accountable for the irresponsible lies they spread. BBC, the biggest news-provider in the world.
