That reminds me of a conversation I had with a good friend who at the start of the war was quite upset about the civilian casualties. All the hospitals were at capacity, filled with women and children. I quickly and calmly reminded him that the Baathist regime of Saddam was murdering 100,000 people a year. In perspective, that's 300 people a day, 1 every 5 minutes. I said that the Iraqi's lives will only get better from here. He did not have a reply.
